Tiivistelmä
Blockchain technology is a global breakthrough with major consequences, which will qualitatively change many areas of life. This thesis explains why this technology is unique and how it can be applied in spheres other than the Bitcoin.
This thesis is divided into two parts – a theoretical and a practical one. In the theoretical part, the concepts of the Blockchain technology are explained including its working principles, the most important technological solutions and advantages over classical systems.
The practical part uses the knowledge from the theoretical part in the development of an application based on the Multichain platform version 1.0.4. This application is designed to collect the certificates of students from universities around the world in a single trusted ledger based on the blockchain to drastically reduce the forgery of these documents.
It is important to understand that this version of the program is a beta version and requires further development to develop into a full-fledged software solution in the future.
