The concepts of cryptocurrencies and blockchains depend on theorems in the mathematical field of Cryptology. No more than a dozen theorems underly the entire theoretical basis for cryptocurrencies and blockchains. And underlying these theorems are the properties of prime numbers. We are going to deep dive into cryptology, blockchains and cryptocurrencies. The objective of this field guide is to equip you with all of the crypto knowledge required to develop blockchain and cryptocurrency applications. I have taken special efforts to simplify the exposition.
The Developers Guide To Cryptocurrencies and blockchains is a very practical book.This guide is designed to bootstrap the software engineer as quickly as possible in cryptology and blockchain theory. After discussing required cryptographic concepts, the exposition moves to blockchains and all of the building blocks that are required to construct blockchains and cryptocurrencies. The objective is to present these concepts in a rigorous and lucid manner so that they can be digested easily. The further objective of this book is to impart confidence in the developer and dispel the notion that something hidden and magical is at work.. This book will provide you with all of the background required to work on blockchain projects.
