This FDP is suitable for faculty, researchers, post graduate scholars in academia and industry as well. The purpose of conducting this 5 - day FDP is to provide a hands-on-experience on Block chain Technology. A Blockchain is a database that is shared across a network of computers. Once a record has been added to the chain it is very difficult to change. To ensure all the copies of the database are the same, the network makes constant checks. Blockchains have been used to underpin digital currency (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum). The tech allows digital information to be distributed, but not copied. That means each individual piece of data can only have one owner. Using cryptography to keep exchanges secure, blockchain provides a decentralized database, or “digital ledger”, of transactions that everyone on the network can see. This network is essentially a chain of computers that must all approve an exchange before it can be verified and recorded. The information is constantly reconciled into the database, which is stored in multiple locations and updated instantly. That means the records are public and verifiable. Since there is no central location, it harder to hack since the info exists simultaneously in millions of places. Blockchain is going to be used for more than just currency and transactions. |
