Title |
Seminar: Distributed Trust and Blockchains |
Description |
A blockchain is a distributed system for executing and recording transactions, which is maintained by many nodes without a central authority. Blockchains power distributed ledgers and cryptocurrencies that have applications to many domains.
In this seminar we will cover fundamental techniques and protocols for blockchains and cryptocurrencies, including prominent current applications.
The seminar will start with an overview of the topic, where some of the principles will be introduced. The main content will consist of interactive presentations by the participants, on the basis of the existing literature, ranging from classic research papers to recently developed systems. |
