INHALT

The main objective of the course is to provide a comprehensive overview of the security and privacy of blockchain technologies.
Course participants will be also introduced to the basic security and privacy provisions of existing popular currencies, and will be exposed to the state-of the-art attacks and threats reported against existing systems/deployments. The participants will also reason on the effectiveness of combining network-level security primitives, with novel cryptographic primitives to deter attacks on payment systems.
Goals
Upon completion of this course, students are expected to be able to:
Reason about the security and privacy definitions of open payment systems.
Explain the security of PoW blockchains in light of the state of the art reported attacks.
Reason about possible network security and cryptographic countermeasures to deter attacks on blockchains.
Explain best security/privacy practices to strengthen the security of existing blockchains, and extract relevant lessons for the design of next-generation blockchain technologies.
background in system security, network security, cryptographic primitives (encryption methods, signatures, MACs, hash functions), principles of communication networks, is required.
