Blockchain Technology is characterized by its blocks which are formed into chains, hence the name blockchain. However, Blockchain Technology is much more complicated than just a collection of blocks and chains. It requires many other components to actually build the block and make sure that they will not be tampered with and will remain safe. Some of these important technologies include cryptographic hash functions, asymmetric-key cryptography, and ledgers. In the same manner Encyclopedia of Blockchain Technology: (3 Volume Set) captures the most important components and applications of this technology in 3 separate, individual but interconnected volumes as described briefly below. Hope this work will drag readers' attention.
Volume 1: Fundamentals of Blockchain Technology
This volume teaches the concepts that make up the blockchain in a nontechnical fashion and in a concise and comprehensible way. The volume covers the evolution of blockchain from fundamental theories to present forms. It offers diversified business applications with usable case studies and provides successful implementations in cloud/edge computing, smart city, and IoT. This work emphasizes the advances and cutting-edge technologies along with the different tools and platforms.
Volume 2: Applications of Blockchain Technology
Applications of Blockchain Technology is explored through understanding of implementation and configuring the use of blockchain technology in many sectors like IoT, Healthcare, Computation, Digital Block Information System, and Cryptocurrency etc. It expands further research scopes. The volume provides access to disseminate blockchain technology and its application in a clear and structured manner by assimilating real-world-cases by providing valuable information for all major sectors including business and industrial applications.
Volume 3: Blockchain Technology Applications & Cryptocurrency
As we enter the Industrial Revolution 4.0, demands for an increasing degree of trust and privacy protection continue to be voiced. The development of blockchain technology is very important because it can help frictionless and transparent financial transactions and improve the business experience, which in turn has far-reaching effects for economic, psychological, educational and organizational improvements in the way we work, teach, learn and care for ourselves and each other. Blockchain is an eccentric technology, but at the same time, the least understood and most disruptive technology of the day. This volume covers the latest technologies of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology and their applications.
