Blockchain Security is not an option, it's a necessity.

Key Features:
- An in-depth examination of the security aspects of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Hyperledger Fabric.
- Comprehensive coverage of smart contract vulnerabilities, attack analysis, and effective security measures.
- Leverage Blockchain Risk Management Framework for managing risks associated with blockchain technology
- Practical insights into testing and assessing the security of blockchain applications.
- Strategies and solutions for robust access control using blockchain-based identity and access management.
- Expert insights on identifying and categorizing risks using advanced threat modeling techniques.

Book Description:
The Ultimate Blockchain Security Handbook will help you identify and remediate your Blockchain solution bugs before others do. Covering the latest threats and vulnerabilities, as well as effective mitigation strategies, it takes you on a journey from the security foundations of blockchain technology to implementing advanced security solutions for blockchain applications. It helps you identify, assess, and mitigate risks using a variety of tools and techniques, including threat modeling, penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, attack analysis, and security audits. It covers formal verification methods for testing smart contract code, with an application of the K semantic framework. It then explores a range of blockchain security solutions, including zero-knowledge proof architecture, access control design, establishment of robust public key infrastructures, and the implementation of security logging and monitoring tools to track activities effectively.

Blockchain technology is being tested and used in several fields right now. Central banks from many countries are also looking into how blockchain and distributed ledger technology can be used to solve problems that have been around for a long time. From production to banking services. Retail and telecommunication are some of the other industries that are starting to try out possible uses.

It's more important than ever to talk about blockchain security because if this isn't fixed, it will become a problem for every household soon. There's no reason to leave it up to chance or hire a security audit company, even though we think blockchain is already safe because it uses cryptography. Everyone involved in the business and technology of blockchain should work together to make sure the design is safe, from the code to the user's wallet and all the way to the bottom of the infrastructure. There is a strong possibility that an attack or breakdown of blockchain protocols to have effects that put economies, financial markets, and enterprises at greater risk.

This book is divided into 6 chapters. They will cover Public and private blockchain security design, inherent security capabilities and vulnerabilities. The chapters touched upon blockchain risk identification, classifying methods and tools, and how those risks can be further analyzed and exploited. The latter half of the book provided remediations and security solutions. Interestingly, in one of the chapters, the author discussed strategies on how to avoid a crypto scam and guidelines for the victims on how they can trace and recover their funds.

What you will learn:
- Acquire proficiency in efficiently assessing and categorizing risks through comprehensive threat modeling exercises.
- Learn to conduct thorough audits of smart contracts and blockchain applications using diverse tools, formal verification methods, and established frameworks.
- Learn to design secure blockchain architectures by implementing cutting-edge techniques, including zero-knowledge proofs, access controls, PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), and robust security logging.
- Learn to take appropriate actions when encountering cryptocurrency-related internet scams, ensuring a safer digital environment.

Who is this book for?
This book is tailored for blockchain developers, architects, security experts, software professionals, and researchers/cryptographers seeking in-depth knowledge of blockchain security. Whether you're building blockchain systems, strengthening security expertise, integrating blockchain into software, or delving into advanced research, this book equips you with essential skills and insights.
