About the technology
A blockchain is a decentralized record, stored across numerous devices with no central control or authority. Copies of this shared database are constantly reconciled with one another, and records are cryptographically encoded to make them unchangeable. The result is a type of database that is at once transparent and publicly accessible, and where it is impossible to falsify or alter the historic data record.
Bina Ramamurthy holds a Ph.D. in fault-tolerant distributed systems, and has thirty years of experience teaching cryptography, peer-to-peer networking, and distributed systems. She is the instructor and content creator for the University of Buffalo four-course specialization on blockchain technology on the Coursera MOOC platform, and the recipient of the 2019 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence.
