Full Description
Discover how distributed ledger technologies work under the hood and learn how to identify those that are actually cryptographically secured and decentralized
In The Digital Asset Technology Guidebook: Deciphering the Keys to Crypto, Blockchain, and Decentralized Finance, certified blockchain developer and a Vice President of Emerging Technology Integration and Cybersecurity, Dr. David Utzke, delivers an authoritative and well-organized discussion of how to understand the architectural components inside distributed ledgers. In other words, this book shows you how to understand the real-world risks of exploitation in digital assets minted in Layer 2 ("smart") contracts.
You'll learn how to identify the developer team behind specific contracts and determine whether cryptography actually exists as a component in the "crypto" asset. You'll also discover which technological features and capabilities are most likely to result in vulnerabilities to bad actors.
Inside the book:
A taxonomical description of digital assets, as well as insights into hundreds of distributed ledger architectures
A guide to identifying assets developed on non-distributed ledger platforms
The technical information you need to confidently navigate the world of distributed ledger and blockchain technologies
Perfect for academics and researchers studying and teaching distributed ledger technology and digital asset coding and security, The Digital Asset Technology Guidebook is also a must-read for financial crime analysts, law enforcement personnel investing financial and cyber crimes, attorneys, investors, and fund analysts and managers.
