Bockchain Security Research

Overview

Blockchain Security Research

The blockchain is a distributed digital ledger technology that is maintained and governed by a consensus mechanism.  A blockchain is essentially a record of digital events. However, it is not "just a record", it is a distributed, immutable record that is shared among many different independent parties, and it can be updated only by the consensus of most of the participants in the system.

Blockchains are simply a new type of database (see this Wikipedia overview).

Write about blockchain as a database, comparing it with traditional SQL or NoSQL databases that are controlled by a single entity.  Your work should consist of the following:

A comprehensive discussion on viewing blockchain as a database.

A discussion of the blockchain database security from Confidentiality perspective.

A discussion of the blockchain database security from Integrity perspective.

A discussion of the blockchain database security from Availability perspective.

A comparison of blockchain to databases that are controlled by a single entity.
