This document discusses blockchain technology and provides examples of its applications. It begins by defining blockchain as a continuously growing list of records called blocks, linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. This makes blockchain resistant to modification of past data. The document then provides examples of how blockchain is being used in various industries like healthcare, finance, manufacturing, government, and more. It aims to show the vast potential applications of this new technology.

- 9. A blockchain, originally block chain, is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. By design, a blockchain is inherently resistant to modification of the data. It is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way". For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to- peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks, which requires collusion of the network majority. WIKI

- 11. 녹색 최초 블록(Genesis Block) : 최초 생성된 블록 검은색은 해시파워(CPU power)를 통한 경쟁에서 승리한 후, 블록 - 실제 블록체인의 일부가된 블록 보라색은 경쟁에서 실패한 블록. - 네트워크 상에서 공유되지 못함. (인정 X) - 이러한 블록은 폐기 따라서 Genesis Block으로 부터 경쟁에서 이긴 블록들로 이루어진 체인은 "주체인 (Main Chain)"이라고 부른다. 이러한 Main Chain 상의 블록에 있는 데이터 내역만이 유효하다.
- 12. 현재 상태(State)에서 특정 지갑(하늘색) 에서 송금하라는 명령을 받아서 새로운 상태로 변경된다. Transaction 에서 일어난 하늘색 부분의 결과로 Create 된 빨간색 부분이 새로운 State’에 등록된 다. 즉 특정 Transaction이 일어나면 새로운 상태가 저장되고 이러한 블록들이 생성됨에 따라 전체 네트워크의 상태변환을 통해 유지된다.
- 13. 각 해시파워를 통해 생성된 블록은 위 그림과 같은 구조를 가진다. 1. Time : 타임스템프 2. Nonce : 최초 0에서 시작, 조건을 만족하는 해쉬값을 찾아낼 때 까지의 1씩 증가하는 계산수 3. Prevhash : 이전블록에 대한 참조(이전 블록의 해시) 4. Transaction : 이전 블록 이후에 발생된 모든 트랜잭션(Transaction)의 목록 이 과정을 통해서 지속적으로 성장하는 블록체인이 생성된다. 그리고 비트코인과 같은 코인/토큰 장부의 최신상태를 나타내기 위해서 지속적인 업데이트(블록 생성)가 이루어진다.
- 14. 왼쪽: Merkle tree(머클트리)의 몇몇 노드만 보아도 곁가지(branch)의 유효성을 입증가능 오른쪽: Merkle tree의 어떤 부분을 바꾸려는 시도는 결국 상위 해쉬값 어딘가에 불일치를 만든다. 블록에 포함된 모든 트랜잭션 정보에 의해 생성되는 Merkle tree는 루트 해시가 들어있는 200 바 이트 정도의 데이터이다. 하위 노드들의 해쉬값이 상위노드에 영향을 주기 때문이다. 만약 최하단 의 머클트리의 트랜잭션 정보를 바꿔치기할 경우, 부모 해쉬값들이 변하게 된다. 결국 전체 트리의 루트값이 바뀌게 되어 결과론적으로 이 블록의 해쉬가 달라진다. 즉, 이 블록은 완전히 다른 블록으로 처리된다.
- 15. 앞서 설명한 부분을 보충하자면, 1) 개별 거래 해쉬값을 변경(해킹) 2) 머클트리 해쉬값 변경됨 3) 블록해더 정보값이 변경됨 4) 새로운 블록해쉬로 변경됨 -> 완전히 다른 블록으로 처리 From: CODEMATH To : HORDE Amount : 200 BTC From: XYRHO To : HORDE Amount : 10 BTC a7fb341e … 32ca8da … 947cd5af2 … 소프트웨어 버전 블록생성 시각 이전 블록 해쉬 채굴 난이도 머클트리해쉬 Nonce 000007eac… 개별 거래 … … 개별 거래 해쉬값 머클트리 해쉬값 블록해쉬 블록해더
