Look inside
In a globally-connected world, business records need to be secure, trusted, and transparent. Permissioned blockchains make this possible through advanced cryptography and digital identity management, allowing all partners to independently verify key data-like transactions, inventory, and sources of material. Written by experienced blockchain architects Mansoor Ahmed-Rengers and Marta Piekarska-Geater, Permissioned Blockchains in Action is filled with insight, tips and tricks for building and deploying permissioned blockchain systems. You’ll learn vital developer skills for securing your blockchains against threats, writing smart contracts on permissioned blockchains, and picking the blockchain stack that’s best for your project.
about the technology
In traditional business systems, ensuing fair play in data records falls to third-party auditors, regulators, and host services. Permissioned blockchains, also known as distributed ledger technologies (DLT), promise to change that. Using the immutable encoding of blockchain technology, permissioned blockchains get rid of expensive third party mediators and allow all actors to collaborate on a shared database without needing to trust each other. The potential applications of these immune-to-fraud electronic records are huge, including supply chain management, finances for charity spending, royalty payments, and high-level asset trading.about the book
Permissioned Blockchains in Action is a tool-agnostic guide to creating innovative applications using blockchain technology. Expert authors Mansoor Ahmed-Rengers and Marta Piekarska-Geater share the insight they’ve gained deploying blockchain systems to production, including essential considerations for software maintenance and the unique security challenges of distributed apps. You’ll go from the why, to the what, to the how of permissioned blockchains, putting theory into practice to implement a simple calculator, a betting game with complete UI, and finally create your capstone project: a centrally banked digital currency. Complex theory and principles are illustrated throughout with byte-sized coding exercises and use cases inspired by the authors’ work in the field. By the time you’re done reading, you’ll be ready to take the plunge into modelling real-world relations as blockchain applications.what's inside

about the authors
Mansoor Ahmed-Rengers is a security researcher, currently pursuing his PhD on the security of blockchain technologies at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of five blockchain research papers, the inventor of the Robust Round Robin consensus algorithm, and holds two patents on managing blockchain data.Marta Piekarska-Geater serves as the Director of Ecosystem at Hyperledger. Marta studied in Warsaw and Berlin, obtaining a double Masters and a PhD in Computer Science. In 2015 she drunk the Kool Aid and joined Blockstream. As part of her role in Hyperledger Marta evangelizes technology and Open Source at conferences around the world and helps enterprises with applying permissioned Blockchains to their use-cases. Marta also formed the W3C Blockchain community Group and is a valued member of ID2020, DIF, Sovrin Technical Governing Board, Cambridge Blockchain Society.
Explains blockchain at a level that just about anybody interested in technology could understand.
Great book. The author introduces concepts very gently and gives enough theory.
Describes how permissioned blockchains work, and analyzes some real-world use cases.
The perfect "ledger" to start digging into the blockchain world.
I absolutely loved the intelligent and witty way Marta and Mansoor fully and in-depth presented complex topics, in a way that was not only easy to understand but enjoyable as well.
A great book to read. Authors do a really good job.
Great explanation of general blockchain technologies and permissioned blockchains!
