Keywords: Blockchain, bitcoin,Ethereum,cryptography

Objectives of the program

The objective of the FDP on Blockchain Technology & its Applications is to introduce
fundamentals of blockchain technology as well as implementations of blockchain technology
with their real-time applications.

Relevance of the topic

Blockchain is a better, safer way to record activity and keep data fresh, while maintaining a
record of its history. The data can’t be corrupted by anyone or accidentally deleted, and you
benefit from both a historical trail of data, plus an instantly up-to-date record. Blockchain is
the technology that underpins the digital currency Bitcoin – but it has far wider applications
and is being commercialised in a growing number of areas. It has generated much interest in
technology circles and beyond, because of the new possibilities it opens up in financial
services, the public sector and other areas. Apart from bitcoin-derived applications such as
improving mobile payments, and credit and supply chain transaction administration,
blockchain in agriculture and food is believed to have potential for impact through increased
provenance and radical transparency.
