An overview of blockchain security analysis

Abstract

The blockchain, with its own characteristics, has received much attention at the beginning of its birth and been applied in many fields. At the same time, however, its security issues are exposed constantly and cyber attacks have caused significant losses in it. At present, there is little concern and research in the field of network security of the blockchain. This paper introduces the applications of blockchain in various fields, systematically analyzes the security of each layer of the blockchain and possible cyber attacks, expounds the challenges brought by the blockchain to network supervision, and summarizes research progress in the protection technology. This paper is a review of the current security of the blockchain and will effectively help the development and improvement of security technologies of the blockchain.
