Blockchain

"A blockchain is a peer-to-peer distributed ledger forged by consensus, combined with a system for "smart contracts" and other assistive technologies". hyperledger.org

A blockchain is a chain of blocks each containing transaction (transition) data. Each block, except the first block, is linked with the previous block together forming a chain. Once a block has entered the blockchain, it can not be altered resulting in data immutability . 


Certificates of Authority

Certificate Authority


In cryptography, a certificate authority or certification authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates. A digital certificate certifies the ownership of a public key by the named subject of the certificate. This allows others (relying parties) to rely upon signatures or on assertions made about the private key that corresponds to the certified public key. A CA acts as a trusted third party—trusted both by the subject (owner) of the certificate and by the party relying upon the certificate. Wikipedia

The Certificate Authority (CA) provides a number of certificate services to users of a blockchain. More specifically, these services relate to user enrollment, transactions invoked on the blockchain, and TLS -secured connections between users or components of the blockchain. This guide builds on either the fabric developer’s setup or the prerequisites articulated in the fabric network setup guide.
