In 2008, an anonymous author using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, published a white paper outlining a public transaction ledger for a decentralized peer-to-peer payment system entitled Bitcoin:
A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, which is regarded as the "birth" of blockchain. Since then, the use of blockchain has evolved beyond its original implementation as a cryptocurrency.
It has gained momentum in recent years, being adopted by some of the largest organizations in the world, including IBM, Amazon, PayPal, Mastercard, and many others.
However, due to the fast moving innovation and adoption of blockchain, and the unfamiliar concepts compared to more understood and traditional technologies, its use is still hindered by speculation, confusion, uncertainty, and risk.
In SEC554: Blockchain and Smart Contract Security, you will become familiar with essential topics of blockchain and smart contract technology, including its history, design principles, architecture, business use cases, regulatory environment, and technical specifications.
The course takes a detailed look at the mechanics behind the cryptography and the transactions that make blockchain work. It provides exercises that will teach you how to use tools to deploy, audit, scan, and exploit blockchain and smart contract assets.
Hands-on labs and exercises will enable you to deploy, audit, scan, and exploit various blockchain implementations, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Near and others, as well as smart contract languages like Solidity and Rust, along with protocols, such as NFTs, DeFi, and Web3.
