By :
Unlike quantum computing, Blockchain has had a relatively short history. If quantum computing is the Mo Farah of emerging technologies, Blockchain is the Usain Bolt. Several Blockchain properties have their roots in cryptography, and it is essential to understand some of the terminologies in order to be able to enjoy the rest of the chapter.
It is important to understand how Blockchain depends on cryptography. This would help us in subsequent chapters to understand how Blockchain and quantum computing could potentially collide in future. A detailed, yet simplified, description of some key terms of Blockchain and cryptography are as follows:
Hashing is a process where a collection of data is input into a function to get a fixed length string as an output – called a hash value. We use them every day. When you create an email ID with a password, the password goes through a hash function, a unique string is created, and this...
