The first part introduces the basic building blocks such as distributed computing and cryptography. Consensus algorithms that form the basic backbone of blockchain protocols are presented. Various cryptographic tools like hash functions, digital signatures and commitment schemes are also introduced. Advanced cryptographic techniques such as zero knowledge protocols, secret sharing, verifiable random functions that are used for privacy-preserving and secure design are discussed. The second part of this handbook consists of popular blockchain designs and platforms. Architecture of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, Tendermint and Algorand have been presented. Various important issues like scalability and security are discussed in the third part. Security design challenges, security vulnerabilities and their analysis are discussed. The final part of this handbook discusses various applications of blockchains. These include supply-chain, identity and credential management, Internet of Things (IoT), data-sharing, e-voting, e-governance, e-health, smart cities, and Industry 4.0. Research challenges and directions of future work are included in this handbook. This comprehensive reference targets students and researchers, who are starting to explore blockchain. Professionals working in blockchain security and applications will find this handbook to be a valuable reference. 410 0$aAdvances in Information Security,$x2512-2193 ;$v105 606 $aCryptography 606 $aData encryption (Computer science) 606 $aData protection$xLaw and legislation 606 $aData protection 606 $aComputer networks$xSecurity measures 606 $aCryptology 606 $aPrivacy 606 $aSecurity Services 606 $aMobile and Network Security 606 $aData and Information Security 615 0$aCryptography. 615 0$aData encryption (Computer science). 615 0$aData protection$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aData protection. 615 0$aComputer networks$xSecurity measures. 615 14$aCryptology. 615 24$aPrivacy. 615 24$aSecurity Services. 615 24$aMobile and Network Security. 615 24$aData and Information Security. 676 $a005.74 700 $aRuj$b Sushmita$01732923 701 $aKanhere$b Salil S$01732924 701 $aConti$b Mauro$076042 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910842493003321 996 $aBlockchains$94147910 997 $aUNINA
