- Securing medical devices
- Asset management
Blockchain plays a significant role in providing security for data operations. It defines how trusted transactions can be carried out and addresses Internet vulnerability problems. Blockchain solves the security fault line between AI and IoT in smart systems as well as in other systems using devices connected to each other through public networks. Linear and permanent indexed records are maintained by Blockchain to face the vulnerability issues in a wide variety applications. In addition to applications, the book also covers consensus algorithms and protocols and performance of Blockchain algorithms.
