No mathematical formulas, program code, or computer science jargon are used. No previous knowledge in computer science, mathematics, programming, or cryptography is required. Terminology is explained through pictures, analogies, and metaphors.This book bridges the gap that exists between purely technical books about the blockchain and purely business-focused books. It does so by explaining both the technical concepts that make up the blockchain and their role in business-relevant applications. 000780254 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000780254 650_0 $$aElectronic funds transfers. 000780254 650_0 $$aBlockchains (Databases) 000780254 650_0 $$aDatabase management. 000780254 650_0 $$aElectronic commerce. 000780254 650_0 $$aData encryption (Computer science) 000780254 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z1484226038$$z9781484226032$$w(OCoLC)971341713 000780254 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000780254 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4842-2604-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000780254 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:780254$$pGLOBAL_SET 000780254 980__ $$aEBOOK 000780254 980__ $$aBIB 000780254 982__ $$aEbook 000780254 983__ $$aOnline 000780254 994__ $$a92$$bISE
