Quantum Blockchain: An Emerging Cryptographic Paradigm
One major milestone towards quantum cryptography is the Quantum blockchain. Quantum blockchain can be understood as a decentralized, encrypted, and distributed database based on quantum computation and quantum information theory which is a novel technology. Once the data is recorded in the quantum blockchain, it will not be maliciously tampered with. In recent years, the development of quantum computation and quantum information theory attracted more researchers to focus on integrating quantum cryptography in the blockchain. The Post-quantum blockchain is an emerging secure blockchain technology that combines post-quantum cryptography and blockchain technology. It is also called as quantum-proof, quantum-safe or quantum-resistant cryptographic paradigm that are sought to be secure against quantum computer attack. The most important characteristics of the quantum blockchain include small signature and hash length, fast execution, low computational complexity, and low energy consumption.
Even though the promise of the quantum blockchain has extraordinary potential, it susceptible to security and privacy issues such as quantum threats and quantum attacks. Quantum-proofing or quantum-resistant blockchain implies a technique that uses a secure block cipher to protect against quantum adversaries. Besides the issues and challenges, there has been remarkable progress in the field of quantum blockchain. The applications of the quantum blockchain include E-Governance, public sector, smart cities, Internet of Things (IoT), Big data analytics, Industry 4.0, Integrity verification, etc. This book will describe the state of the art of Quantum blockchain techniques and it will sketch how it can be implemented in standard communication infrastructure. Highlighting a wide range of topics such as quantum cryptography, quantum blockchain, post-quantum blockchain, quantum blockchain in Industry 4.0, this book is ideal for security analysts, data scientists, vulnerability analysts, professionals, academicians, researchers, and students. This book will also provide the future research directions of quantum blockchain in terms of quantum resilience, data management, and privacy issues, sustainability and scalability, quantum blockchain interoperability.
