Fault-Tolerant Distributed Transactions on Blockchain
Suyash Gupta, University of California, Davis, Jelle Hellings, University of California, Davis, Mohammad Sadoghi, University of California, Davis Morgan & Claypool Publishers Blockchains provide data transparency. Blockchains ensure data integrity by using strong cryptographic primitives. Blockchains are decentralized, democratic, and resilient. These fundamental concepts and the technologies behind them— a generic ledger-based data model, cryptographically ensured data integrity, and consensus-based replication—prove to be a powerful and inspiring combination, a catalyst to promote computational trust. In this book, we present an in-depth study of blockchain, unraveling its revolutionary promise to instill computational trust in society. The book offers a comprehensive overview of theoretical limitations and practical usability of consensus protocols while examining the diverse landscape of how blockchains are manifested in their permissioned and permission-less forms.
