Blockchain Technology
Blockchain Technology has taken the world by storm with its proliferation in an astoundingly diverse array of applications. Cryptocurrencies and a plethora of business use-cases paved the way for inclusive decentralization through innovative incentives and smart contracts. In its modern incarnation, Blockchain offers the promise of immutability, consistency, attribution, authenticity and automation of record-keeping as well as computations within an inherently decentralized operating environment.
This elective course in Computer Science and Engineering aims to introduce you to the core technical framework of Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies, encompassing distributed systems, consensus protocols, incentive mechanisms and decentralized applications. You will also learn the major anonymity, security, privacy, scalability and interoperability issues in modern Blockchain, in addition to the relevant enterprise platforms, solutions, applications and regulatory aspects of the technology.
