Blockchain Technology Sample Clauses

Blockchain Technology. Blockchain provides a secure and decentralized database that can be shared across a network of multiple nodes (initiated in Bitcoin [23]). All nodes participating in this network will have the same copy of the ledger, which is maintained and secured through cryptographically principles, which among others are incorporated in so called consen- sus mechanisms. Consensus mechanisms are used to agree for the same copy of the ledger between the nodes. Blockchain technologies provide benefits to a network, such as decentralization, transparency, and immutability. Thus, many application fields are considering the integration of blockchain to optimize their overall state of the system. Despite its benefits, blockchain is also facing some limitations regarding the ineffi- ciency and untrustworthy features of existing consensus mechanisms. The existing drawbacks are solved by a newly introduced consensus protocol in [16] called Trust- Consensus Protocol, which is integrating trust elements in all steps beginning from sending transactions, selecting the block creator, validating the new block, and re- xxxx/punish the participants for their behavior. A detailed description of this novel pro- tocol can be found in [16]. The Trust-Consensus Protocol is not only used to improve the blockchain functionality, but also to improve several aspects in a service and trust management platform (also described in the next subsections).

Blockchain Technology. A blockchain is an immutable distributed ledger that records transactions between peers in a network using cryptographically bonded blocks of data. The distributed ledger system (blockchain) is designed so that all participants can access and update accurate records of all transactions. Each node in the network is given a copy of all transactions and is responsible for verifying and approving them. Therefore, a confirming authority at the centre is unnecessary. The term "blockchain" was coined to describe the interconnections between financial transactions that occur in different "blocks" (Soundarya, Xxxxxx & Dhanalakshmi 2018). The pharmaceutical sector places a premium on reliable supply chains, fast transactions, and data security. Pharmaceutical business stakeholders regularly lose money due to theft and lost items because of insufficient tracking and tracing systems (Haq & Xxxxxxxx, 2018). As with other industries, drug and medical regulatory authorities have found inferior and fake items in circulation. Therefore, many companies in the pharmaceutical business have looked to implement blockchain technology to harness processes and expedite tracing and tracking, medical transactions, and patient safety in response to malpractice and poorly functioning supply chains (Xxxxx, Wu & Long, 2018).
