DESCRIPTION:With the popularity of edge computing\, massive users and devic
 es at the network edge are more actively involved in the networks\, pushin
 g the information collection\, computation\, storage\, and communications 
 more towards end users. In these more decentralized systems\, how to enabl
 e efficient and trustworthy interactions among different parties becomes a
 n essential issue.\n\nBlockchain has been considered as a promising approa
 ch to facilitate the establishment of decentralized trustworthy computing 
 systems with non-repudiated information records. For example\, Bitcoin has
  attracted wide attention as a secure and decentralized platform to enable
  peer-to-peer exchanges of digital currency. Ethereum then generalizes blo
 ckchain as a state machine and enables smart contracts\, a piece of code t
 hat can support complex logic and be self-executed when certain conditions
  are met. Such generalization enables blockchain to potentially serve as a
  computing infrastructure and opens new opportunities for blockchain to fa
 cilitate secure and decentralized interactions among any parties without m
 aking high trust assumptions about them.\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss
  some key characteristics of blockchain and a few promising applications o
 f blockchain that can facilitate security and trust among multiple parties
 . Some examples include designing a secure and efficient multi-signature s
 cheme to facilitate multi-party approval process on Fabric\, an enterprise
  blockchain platform\; applying blockchain to secure software updates for 
 resource-constrained IoT networks\; and to facilitate fair trading in tran
 sactive energy market.\n\nSpeaker(s): Yuhong Liu\n\nRoom: ETLC E1-008 \, B
