Making Secure Blockchains Scale

Making Secure Blockchains Scale

Cybersecurity Seminars Online seminar
Wednesday, 22 September 2021
4:30 pm - 5:30 pm (AEST)
Free

As blockchain has found applications to track ownership of digital assets, it is crucial for companies to adopt more secure blockchains than the ones proven vulnerable to network attacks before moving them in production. In this talk, the speaker will mention few lessons their group learned and few misconceptions they clarified since they started working on blockchain technologies. This exciting scientific research led us to build probably the fastest secure blockchain known to date, the Red Belly Blockchain. This blockchain has since then been turned into a cutting-edge product that is now part of the Blockchain Roadmap of the Australia Government.

The recording of this talk is not available.
