Blockchain has presented countless opportunities to us, and we have advanced towards a new era. The digital finance industry has evolved manifold, and the newer way to do business has been circulating the whole world. Cryptocurrencies, NFTs, DeFi and even the newest platform Golden Profit have introduced us to the decentralized way of facilitating transactions and other exchanges. The countless nodes present in a Blockchain system have guaranteed the ultimate security. But for quite a while, there have been certain issues in the network system which are not remotely safe, and if not acknowledged and handled with caution, the losses can be heavier to deal with.
What is Blockchain?
Blockchain is a network system that was released in the digital market in 2008. The revolutionary technology works on node networks which are commonly known as Blocks. Each of these blocks is designed under different networks where transactions between two parties take place without the participation of a third party. The peer-to-peer network connection is much safer than any other as everything follows a cryptographic infrastructure. For example, one’s transaction details and time are shown in a ledger, but when it comes to the identity of a person, names, or personal details per se, Blockchain shows only cryptographic signals or made-up names, which never suffices for the real identity. This anonymity makes the system safer, and people are keen to take the service of a legendary system like this. Also, through many applications, one can find better deals than anywhere. Be it games, crypto tokens, NFTs- everything is much more convenient and far too good deals.
The 3 Utmost Security Protocols for Blockchain
Authentication and Strong Identity
Not all blockchain networks in the same ways. For instance, Bitcoin’s anonymity is not as good as Ripple’s when. Also, it has been witnessed that Ethereum’s Smart Contract system is not completely foolproof for anonymity. It is not completely off the record for one network to go against the ‘untraceable’ agenda when multiple money launderers and perpetrators are prying on these decentralized systems. But under certain conditions, the network should confirm that authentication services are mandatory. For instance, permission blockchains should be included in such conditions to provide strong identities to the users. The customized, completely automated, and secure authentication for a service here can always gain extra security for the network while cutting down the total cost of blockchain operation by a significant amount.
Securing the Core
When one person or user is joining the public key, they are obligated to join from their private network, which puts their possession and identity in a vulnerable position. Blockchain here can introduce server-side protection. Usually, in a blockchain system, the perpetrators cannot hack any network node out of the blue. The mechanism has been designed in such a way that it obliges one hacker to hack the complete system to get to the core. But recently, it has been seen that Blockchain has certain vulnerability factors. For instance, recently, Ethereum got hacked, and a mass amount of crypto has been stolen. Be it the bugs or faulty crypto encryption. The networks are not completely foolproof. With that note in mind, availing server-side protection can guarantee storage in tamper-proof, FIPS 140-2, Level-3 validated HSM devices, and the transactions can be much safer than before.
Security for the Communication
The most vulnerable ones in a blockchain system are its users, making it equally vulnerable to the network service which holds the communication. If one system is malfunctioning, it means that the integrated network is bound to cut to the chase for a while to fix the issue. This poses the possibility of losing more profits and productivity. It is folly to take the security concerns of a blockchain system just because it is the most secure system out there. Thus, it is advised to cross-check the user identity internally by the system and run background checks. This will help the system integrate into a better security chain where disclosure in the public ledger will not be needed in the slightest, but the system will continue running with the best service capabilities out there.
The Blockchain is gaining more and more attention each day, and it has quadrupled in the territory of gaining new users. With that in mind, if the security concerns are not handled carefully from now, it will be a disaster for the damage control protocols when the number even rises. It has already been quite vulnerable in the last year only, and the risks are rising each day.
