Mathematics • The «chain» of transactionsis«immutable» and «tamperproof» • Everybodycan read and write on the blockchain (Public) • No Centralized Trust Authority«certifies» the transactions • Highly Secureby design (Bitcoinas «showcase») Shared and verifiable by all stakeholders Thisis the Open, Public, Permissionless, Borderless, Distributed Ledger SeminariBordoniBlockChain - 25 Settembre, 2018
The main takeaway The Open, Public, Permissionless, Borderless, Distributed Ledger is (can be) totally disruptive for ALL Central Trust BasedIndustries SeminariBordoniBlockChain - 25 Settembre, 2018
(Only) Public BlockChains are Trustable and Secure - Only in the Public BlockChainALL stakeholders decide - Trust and Security High «by design». Efficiencyneedsresearch (Algorand) - Ifsome stakeholders «do not decide» wehave a Private BlockChain High «by design» (ConsensusAlgorithm) High «by design» (Bitcoinexample) Low (now!) All Stakeholders + Crypto + Math Not a BlockChain Low Low High Consortium (Private BC) Wehave a limited trust In Central Authorities • Single Point of Failure • Denial of Service • … HackedEveryday Dictators are Efficient Very Low Very Low Centralized Very High Trust of the Stakeholders (Cyber)Security Consensus RedDecide GreenOnlyStakeholders Efficiency SeminariBordoniBlockChain - 25 Settembre, 2018

Whowillprevail? • The History of Internet: • The dream: A resilient network without a C&C Center • The (once) Big PlatformsAttempt (’80-’90) «We are the secure, fast and efficient network»: • DNA (DECNet Internet 17k Nodes in 1989) • SNA (IBM), DSA (Honeywell) • TCP/IP and the WWWmade all of them obsolete! • Here we are again: • The dream: A resilient «book of transactions» with no Central Trust • The Big PlatformsAttempt: Private BlockChain • But can Notaries, Bank, Insurance, Administrations, OTT, …. Intermediaries in general survive in a Distributed World ? • Or Public, Open BlockChainwill make all of them obsolete! • We do not know. Butsurelytwothings are mandatory: • Researchand sharing of (good) Knowledge • Experiments on real life problems SeminariBordoniBlockChain - 25 Settembre, 2018
