Abstract:

The term cyber security is referred to as security of information technology. Major goal of cyber security is to provide the protection of computers, networks, programs, and data and keep safe from unauthorized person and does not allow them to access or change the data and information. Cybercrime can be classified into three categories like cybercrime against individual, crime against property, and cybercrime against organization. Application development is a process that reduces human effort in doing the things manually such as ticket booking and banking. It is a new technology known as a next-generation solution to a wide variety of transactional blockchain. It is a collection of records which are called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Blockchain technology increasingly receives attention and record keeping problems. The core ideas behind blockchain technology emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s by STUART HABER and W. SCOTT STORNETTA. Blockchain can be defined into four categories such as data structure, immutable, validated by distributed network and cryptography for security. There are two types of blockchain available public and private. In this chapter, we have described the problem with current system and their solution with the help of distributed system, block identifiers and different terms that is supported by blockchain technology such as smart contracts.
