This book gives a comprehensive overview of blockchain programming and its implementation in the wide range of blockchain-based applications such as cross-border payment, digital banking, and digital identities. The consistent thrive of the blockchain phenomenon and the ecosystem of e-business use cases have led to the Industrial Revolution in the e-business world, and it is demonstrated in this book. The digital advancement, interference, and transformation being brought through the influence of the blockchain advancements are creating waves across e-business verticals. The book caters to academics, industrial practitioners, and entrepreneurs working in the field of blockchain technology and programming.

Since ancient times, there has been a need to protect information considered confidential or secret, with the aim of keeping it out of the reach of a possible enemy or adversary. This has been done in various ways: by preventing physical access to it, by disguising its nature, or by using cryptographic procedures to transform it to prevent access to its content. The aim of cryptography is not to hide the existence of a message, but rather to hide its meaning, a process known as encryption.
Against the use of cryptographic procedures and methods, the opposite side will use cryptanalysis procedures. Cryptanalysis consists of compromising the security of a cryptosystem. This can be done by decrypting a message without knowing the key, or by obtaining from one or more cryptograms the key that has been used in its encryption.
The discovery of a secret encryption algorithm is not considered cryptanalysis; instead, we must assume that algorithms are always known. In general, cryptanalysis is usually carried out by studying large numbers of message-cryptogram pairs generated with the same key. The mechanism used to obtain them is indifferent and can be the result of listening to a communications channel, or the possibility that the object of our attack responds with a cryptogram when a message is sent to it. Obviously, the greater the number of pairs, the more likely the cryptanalysis will be successful. The adjective classical, as opposed to modern, is due both to the techniques used, basically character substitution and transposition operations, with or without a key but always linked to the concept of a secret key, and to the use of symmetric cryptography in machines dedicated to encryption.
