DeVry University-SoCal student branch (Unit STB61901)
Presents the Following Workshop:
Workshop Title: Building a Simple Blockchain (pre-recorded)
Presenter: Penn P. Wu, PhD.
Date: Friday April 8, 2022
Time: 4:30 pm. PST (California Time)
Location: WebEx Meeting Room https://devry.webex.com/meet/nazila.safavi
Workshop Description:
Blockchain is a commonly defined as a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a non-centralized business network. It is the technology that stores data in the form of a well-defined block, and is now commonly used to store data for cryptography and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. In 1991, Stuart Haber and W. Scott Tornetta introduced this concept using a linked list where the nodes are the blocks in the Blockchain, and the references are hashes of the previous block in the chain. This prototype also defines references as cryptographic hashes. The blockchain then works as a transparent ledger. This workshop will provide an opportunity to build a simple blockchain with limited coding efforts. The objective is to understand what it takes to build a blockchain. The instructional objective is to encourage students to take action to explore, discover, understand, and develop their blockchain.
