Blockchain Development Discussion Responses
Post 1 (Omer)
Thank you for the discussion post submitted Omer, I found it insightful and comprehensive
regarding the significance of securing Blockchain technology. You have clearly emphasized on
the importance of securing sensitive data even while using blockchain technology or cloud
computing. I disagree with you that storing data in the public cloud be unsafe, there are several
security measures that can be implemented to secure the data for example, selecting a cloud
service provider that facilitates data encryption and using two-factor authentication. I agree with
you on the effectiveness of using HTTPS connection in securing data in blockchain. HTTPS
utilizes the encryption protocol in encrypting the data.
Question: How would you protect blockchain data not on the app?
Post 2 (Mohammed)
Thank you for the post Mohammed. The description on spoofing as it is related to
cryptocurrency was comprehensive. I agree with you that the cryptocurrency spoofing threats
can discourage investors from purchasing cryptocurrencies. Thus the importance of mitigating
spoofing threats. I agree with you about indexing the spoofed addresses inside the trusted listing
at the smart contract. I also agree with you regarding the measures taken to counter spoofing
threats by blocking malicious attackers with motive to initiate a DDoS attack using the SDN
controller used to maintain synergy between the blockchain environment and the access of
records.
Question: How can blockchain be used to track cryptocurrencies used for illegal actitivities?
Post 3 (Tharun)
Thank you for the discussion post Tharun. I found the description of the eclipse attack to be
comprehensive, simple and to the point. In eclipse attacks, malicious parties try to isolate the
victim from the network before initiating the attack. I agree with you that smart contracts can be
used to prevent eclipse attacks. Smart contracts are integrated within the ledgers and ensure that
only peers within the chain are able to access information, additionally, it makes it impossible to
alter information within the blockchain. This guarantees that only authorized parties can have
access to the information on the ledger.
Question: How secure is public blockchain compared to private blockchain?
