ReSOLV: Applying Cryptocurrency Blockchain Methods to Enable Global Cross-platform Software License Validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method for a decentralised peer-to-peer software license validation system using cryptocurrency blockchain technology to ameliorate software piracy, and to provide a mechanism for software developers to protect copyrighted works. Protecting software copyright has been an issue since the late 1970’s and software license validation has been a primary method employed in an attempt to minimise software piracy and protect software copyright. The method described creates an ecosystem in which the rights and privileges of participants are observed.

متن کاملApplying Software Patterns to Address Interoperability Challenges in Blockchain-based Healthcare Apps
Since the inception of Bitcoin technology, its underlying data structure–the blockchain–has garnered much attention due to properties such as decentralization, transparency, and immutability. These properties make blockchains suitable for apps that require disintermediation through trustless exchange, consistent and incorruptible transaction records, and operational models beyond cryptocurrency...

متن کاملFundamental Values of Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Technology
We propose a theoretical model to measure the fundamental values of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Due to its secure nature, blockchain allows the transactions to be state-contingent based on highly credible state information. In an economy with adverse selection, traders have an incentive to buy assets with unknown quality by using cryptocurrency to exploit the higher security of bl...
متن کاملBlockchain - From the Anarchy of Cryptocurrencies to the Enterprise (Keynote Abstract)
A blockchain is a public ledger for recording transactions, maintained by many nodes without central authority through a distributed cryptographic protocol. All nodes validate the information to be appended to the blockchain, and a consensus protocol ensures that the nodes agree on a unique order in which entries are appended. Distributed protocols tolerating faults and adversarial attacks, cou...
