Cybersecurity in the Blockchain

The blockchain, technology for the storage and transmission of decentralised information that was introduced in 2008, is often described as a technological break in the monetary domain.

Technological context

In the form of an unchangeable register that is distributed to the operators within a network, this register lists “transactions”, such as a payment, data entry, or the signing of a contract. Once verified and validated thanks to a consensus mechanism, transactions are grouped sequentially, in blocks cryptographically linked to each other, which thus form “blockchains”. Thanks to the configurable transparency, security and unchangeable nature of these transactions, the blockchain allows for a shared IT infrastructure to be built, which will function without a central control body.

Yet, beyond the controversy surrounding the value of cryptocurrencies and their environmental impact, blockchains —which is just another step added into the evolution of information systems and the internet —are, above all, a major technological achievement. Just as is the case for any new technology, the issue of security requires major reflection. Intrinsically, the use of cryptographic elements and consensus mechanisms make the blockchain unchangeable and secure, as well as the data shared. That said, it remains necessary to secure the operating environment (implementation, audits, supervision, etc.).
