Book Description
Build secure private blockchain networks to handle mission-critical security challenges such as denial-of-service attacks,user wallets,and pool mining attacks
Blockchain adoption has extended from niche research to everyday usage. However,despite the blockchain revolution,one of the key challenges faced in blockchain development is maintaining security,and this book will demonstrate the techniques for doing this.
You’ll start with blockchain basics and explore various blockchain attacks on user wallets,and denial of service and pool mining attacks. Next,you’ll learn cryptography concepts,consensus algorithms in blockchain security,and design principles while understanding and deploying security implementation guidelines. You’ll not only cover architectural considerations,but also work on system and network security and operational configurations for your Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric network. You’ll later implement security at each level of blockchain app development,understanding how to secure various phases of a blockchain app using an example-based approach. You’ll gradually learn to securely implement and develop decentralized apps,and follow deployment best practices. Finally,you’ll explore the architectural components of Hyperledger Fabric,and how they can be configured to build secure private blockchain networks.
By the end of this book,you’ll have learned blockchain security concepts and techniques that you can implement in real blockchain production environments.
