Critical Infrastructure Network Security with Ethereum Blockchain

This workshop will present the fundamentals of cryptography and describe the use of the Ethereum blockchain to support critical infrastructure protection. It will include a discussion of Ethereum solutions and their risks. It will also include a presentation on the development of security in transaction using Ethereum Blockchain, and how its mathematical design is a protective resource, when coupled with smart contracts, to prevent loss of funds or to prevent corruption.

The agenda is to provide the explanation of cryptography and the use of Ethereum blockchain. A discussion of risk and solutions will be presented. I will present on the development of security in transaction using Ethereum Blockchain. The mathematical design is a protective resource coupled with smart contracts to prevent loss of funds or corruption.

Objectives:

You will learn:

1. How to use Ethereum to protect critical infrastructure networks and data in transit.
2. How Ethereum can protect cryptographic usage, bitcoin constraints, and blockchain smart contracts.
3. The protective protocol in managing blockchain purchases and expenditures through audit management criteria.
