The power of any technology lies in its ecosystem. Product and tool vendors are building and releasing a variety of versatile and robust toolsets and platforms in order to speed up and simplify blockchain application development, deployment and management. There are other infrastructure-related advancements in order to streamline blockchain adoption. Cloud computing, big data analytics, machine and deep learning algorithm, and connected and embedded devices all are driving blockchain application development and deployment.

Blockchain Technology and Applications illustrates how blockchain is being sustained through a host of platforms, programming languages, and enabling tools. It examines:

Data confidential, integrity, and authentication
Distributed consensus protocols and algorithms
Blockchain systems design criteria and systems interoperability and scalability
Integration with other technologies including cloud and big data
It also details how blockchain is being blended with cloud computing, big data analytics and IoT across all industry verticals.
