Part A
Introduction:
Blockchain is a new and upcoming transforming technology designed as a complete decentralised
system. The “Block” represents a set of records that needs to be saved and the “Chain” links those
blocks together for security purpose with the help of hashing function. Blockchain is simply a
database containing transactions validated by network community instead of a single centralised
authority. After validation, the data in the form of a block is linked to the previous block, hence
creating a Blockchain. Blockchain gained its recent popularity because of its applications like Bitcoin
and Ethereum. The report should cover the following points:
? Define Blockchain and discuss how Blockchain works.
? Explain the security features of Blockchain and its advantages.
