Blockchain Applications: Public Opinion Analysis and Judicial Practice

Blockchain is a distributed ledger database that combines blocks of data in chronological order in a sequentially linked manner into a chained data structure, and is guaranteed to be tamper-proof and forged by a combination of underlying technologies such as cryptography, consensus mechanisms, and P2P distributed networks. The core strength of blockchain technology is distributed storage, which enables credit-based peer-to-peer transactions in a distributed system where nodes do not need to trust each other through the use of data encryption, timestamps, distributed consensus and economic incentives.This book synthesizes a large number of latest materials from home and abroad and the authors' research results. This book is intended for professionals who are interested in the new applications of blockchain in social life and in applications in areas such as public opinion analysis and judicial practice, or for people in business or political and legal circles who are interested in blockchain applications, or as a textbook or reference book in the field of computer applications.
