Blockchain is an invaluable tool for achieving transparency and trust but transformative possibilities to benefit society more broadly are emerging that will bring a bright future for sustainable development. These technologies will reduce unsustainability that disturbs societies, financial resources, environment and natural resources for developing as well as developed countries. In the blockchain database, distributed database over peer-to-peer networks and the transaction, data will be packed into blocks by miner nodes, and all blocks are linked together via hash operations. Diffusion and adoption of blockchain in various sectors like finance, healthcare, infrastructure, higher education, environment, renewable energy and communication provide the revolutionary changes in the digital era of the world. The state of the art of blockchain models is most useful for forecasting and prediction of various sectors for sustainable development.
This book covers the application of blockchain for supply chain management-based business. This book also covers blockchain application for health, science, identity, governance, education, public goods and various aspects of culture and communication. The book provides compressive studies about the architecture of blockchain technology, distributed data storage, peer-to-peer transmission, a consensus mechanism, encryption algorithms and smart contracts which will be very useful for sustainable development for architectural design and smart buildings, healthcare services and systems, affordable and sustainable green and clean energy, sustainable development in agriculture, accurate forecasts of air pollution levels through fog computing and sustainable learning and others.
This book has 10 intensive chapters on the application of blockchain and relevance as follows:
Chapter 1 discusses the components of a blockchain, architecture, protocol and applications. The chapter focuses on the database block, collection of a block, harsh cryptography and consensus protocols. It also presents several consensus protocols such as proof of work, proof of stake and proof of elapsed time with its advantages and disadvantages. In addition, it also discusses the applications of blockchain in Internet of things, cloud computing, healthcare and medicine, storage, smart city development, financial and education briefly.
Chapter 2 discusses business applications of blockchain technology in terms of recording, valuing and verifying transactions. It also explores the ramifications of blockchain for the audit of corporate financial reports and associated accounting challenges, especially those involving cryptocurrencies. In this chapter, the implementation of blockchain for auditing is also discussed.
Chapter 3 investigates various cases of using blockchain in a smart city environment. This chapter introduces a greater understanding of the current urban crisis that is being tackled in beautiful urban areas.
