Abstract
Blockchain technology is becoming more popular in our everyday’s life. In this talk we will first explore the key concepts of blockchain and why we invented it. Then we will investigate several cryptographic primitives which are used in blockchain such as hash functions, digital signatures, verifiable random functions, and zero-knowledge proofs.
About Applied and computational maths seminars
Our seminars bring together UQ's applied and computational mathematics communities.
UQ and invited scientists deliver the presentations, which are informal and promote discussion.
We welcome suggestions for speakers and topics from staff, students and visitors, and encourage students to share their work.
Our seminars are usually held on Thursdays from 3pm to 4pm.
To suggest a topic or speaker, and for more information, contact Dr Dietmar Oelz or Dr Cecilia Gonzalez Tokman.
