Introducing Distributed Ledgers This session will introduce the characteristics, uses and applications of crypto assets and currencies. The outcome of this session is for everyone in the room to own some form of cryptoasset, but more importantly, for them to understand where it is stored and why it has been stored that way.
This will be a very hands-on session and will allow participants to gain practical experience of the application of crypto assets. Half of the session will be guided through presentations with the other half being spent actively using and exploring Blockchain technology through crypto-currency transactions.
The session will be delivered through lectures, case studies, discussions and demonstrations whilst covering the following important topics:
Cryptography From hashes to encryption and key generation - demystifying the technology from a non-technical perspective and assessing important security features
