Title: Application and Engineering of Cryptography in Blockchain

Keynote Speaker: He Debiao

Abstract:

Blockchain technology, following mainframe computer, personal computer (PC) and Internet, is considered as another disruptive innovation in the computing mode, with the potential to cause a new round of technological innovation and industrial transformation in the global scope, which has been used in such fields as IoT, management of intelligent manufacturing supply chain and digital asset trading. The consortium blockchain has great advantages in privacy protection, legality tracking and other aspects. We designed and implemented such critical cryptography schemes as group signature, broadcast encryption and zero knowledge proof, and we also adopted such schemes in the realization of a secure and efficient consortium blockchain system.
