His work is supported by government agencies both in the US (NSF, DoD) and in Switzerland (Swiss NSF), and by the blockchain industry including multi-million faculty gifts and grants by Sunday Group and the Algorand Foundation. In the past, he was a fellow of the Simons Institute, UC Berkeley, and a Swiss NSF fellow. ![]() Indicatively, he was research fellow and area leader of IOG (formerly known as IOHK), where as a member of its core research team he co-developed the basis for the decentralization of its flagship Cardano blockchain – holding a top-ten cryptocurrency he is currently the Chief Scientist of Sunday Group, and the lead architect of its flagship Mobby blockchain. He is one of the pioneers in the blockchain and decentralization research, and has been affiliated with (and supported by) leading blockchain and cryptocurrency companies. Prior to his current appointment, he was an Associate Professor at the School of Informatics of the University of Edinburgh and Vice-Director of its Blockchain Technology Lab, and an Assistant Professor at RPI. The talk will discuss novel design choices that go into deployed and widely adopted blockchain-based DLTs, and how these choices critically impact the security of the solutions and address implementation and deployment challenges.īio: Vassilis Zikas is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Purdue Blockchain Lab at Purdue University. In this talk I will discuss secure decentralization with a focus on blockchain – from its current state to its vast potential for future applications. This has the potential to disrupt traditional strongholds of trust in the financial, digital, biomedical, and manufacturing sectors, as well as in governance. Modern cryptography, security, and distributed computing have taken on the challenge to bring this decentralization ideas to reality by leveraging – and transitioning to practice – decades-long research on secure (distributed) computation, and combining it with modern Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT). The idea of giving control of a widely-used critical infrastructure, e.g., centralized banking or immutable record-keeping, to its users is becoming ever more popular. ![]() ![]() Περίληψη: The wide adoption of global computer networks, such as the Internet, creates immense opportunities, and challenges the traditional centralized trust model.
