Blockchain Fundamentals and Enterprise Applications [Part 1]

By Steve Tracey📧 and Kusumal Ruamsook📧

White paper, Part 1, November 2021

Motivated by one of CSCR® recent collaborative research initiatives with GoChain as our highly regarded partner in the enterprise and government blockchain solutions, CSCR® developed a two-part white paper that explores blockchain technology and its enterprise applications.  Given the novelty of the technology, Part 1 of the paper explores blockchain technology from various perspectives—ranging from a bird-eye view, an evolutionary view, to a “light” technical view.  With this white paper, the authors hope to bring researchers and business readers up to speed on the essential foundations about blockchain technology, and pave a background understanding for Part 2 of the paper which will investigate its applications in supply chain management.
