Decentralization and Privacy on Blockchain: the Basics

This is a seminar on blockchain technology that is produced in conjunction with the Morgan State University Fintech Center. In this session, Hart Montgomery, CTO of the Hyperledger Foundation, will speak about the basics of decentralization and privacy on the blockchain. This talk will cover:

• How decentralization is at the core of blockchain, what it means for security, the blockchain trilemma, and how to make sure you "get decentralization right" in blockchain.
• Why privacy and confidentiality are necessary on a blockchain, what are some techniques we can use to achieve privacy and confidentiality, and how we should think about them.

All are welcome to attend. And if you're interested in learning more about past seminar sessions, check out the page at:
