Integrate Smart Contracts for a Secure Digital Solution 

Smart contracts are one of the essential components of blockchain that enable the development of custom decentralised applications. Learn more about smart contracts and their role in developing secure digital solutions.

What are Smart Contracts?

Smart Contracts are a self-executing set of code, based on predefined rules and agreements. It executes independently, eliminates dependency on intermediaries, and reduces risks, thus adding a layer of security with digital systems. Let’s explore how–

• Valid Rules and Inputs: Smart contracts’ designers suggest relevant inputs based on which code is written and executed. No task is executed until the defined conditions are met. This prevents vulnerabilities and malicious attacks.
  
• Restricted Permission Access: Developers implement a permission control mechanism to ensure restricted access to applications and grant only authorised users to perform specific activities. 
  
• Safe State Change Updates: Each state change, such as a balance update or a transaction update, happens only after external calls to avoid double-spending attacks
  
• Regular Audit to Identify Loopholes: The rules and conditions defining smart contracts are regularly updated and audited to identify loopholes and vulnerabilities. This helps maintain the security of blockchain systems.

Blockchain System Scalability- Build Future-Ready Digital Solutions 

Blockchain scalability refers to the ability of the applications to maintain a level of performance while the volume of transactions grows. The blockchain architecture, consensus mechanism, block size, and throughput are the essential factors that help maintain blockchain scalability. 

Let’s discuss in detail scaling for On-chain (Layer 1) and Off-chain (Layer 2) blockchain architecture – 

On-Chain Scaling (Layer 1) 

Decentralised systems built directly on the blockchain, like Ethereum or Solana, are referred to as On-Chain or Layer-1 blockchain systems. Scaling occurs in layer 1 by changing the size of the blog or data structure.  

• Reduce Block Size, Maintain Transaction Count per Block:  The system implements data optimisation and transaction compression techniques to reduce block size while maintaining the transaction count per block. This helps enhance the throughput.  
  
• Sharding Technique: It is another approach to enhance throughput without increasing the block size. The blockchain network is split into smaller and parallel parts. Each of which is referred to as ‘shards’. Now, each shard acts independently, handling transactions. In this way, the load is shared. Transactions are processed simultaneously, thus increasing the throughput.  

Off-Chain Scaling (Layer 2) 

Off-chain or Layer 2 refers to a secondary blockchain framework built on top of the Layer 1 blockchain, such as Ethereum or Solana. Polygon acts as a Layer-2 or scaling network built on top of Ethereum.  

The off-chain architecture helps reduce congestion, thus increasing speed and reducing gas fees.  

• State Channel: An off-chain scaling built on multisignature smart contracts. It helps extend the capabilities of traditional payment channels. It supports off-chain state updates that reflect changes to a smart contract’s internal logic.

• Plasma: It is a framework designed to support the scalability of applications on the Ethereum blockchain. It helps enhance the throughput and scalability by introducing Ethereum-based sidechains. Plasma enables the creation of multiple sub-chains with Ethereum as the main chain. Each sub-chain is capable of executing complex operations and serving thousands of users. The child chains do not necessarily store the entire state on Ethereum, thus ensuring faster performance and lower transaction costs.

Practical Applications of Blockchain Technology in Software Security 

Immutability and the single-source-of-truth model of blockchain enable digital solutions to protect data from tampering and also prevent malicious attacks. Be it data identity management or supply chain management, here are some practical applications of blockchain, already protecting the critical systems in various segments.

Blockchain for Data Integrity

Data tampering is one of the most common threats to an organisation, as it directly impacts operational outcomes, reliability, and the hard-earned trust is at stake. Blockchain technology helps build a robust digital solution and ensures tamper-proof data storage using features such as–

• Decentralisation: Secure access to shared data
• Immutability: Immediately detects unauthorised editing and is invalidated.       
• Transparency: Allows equal participation and data visibility 
• Cryptographic mechanisms: Transaction data is stored on the blockchain using hash algorithms, preventing leakage of sensitive data

By storing encrypted data on a distributed ledger, blockchain systems ensure that even if one node is compromised, the system remains secure. 

User Authentication and Identity Management

Blockchain technology enables users to manage data securely through Decentralised identity systems and self-sovereign identities (SSIs), thus eliminating dependency on a central authority. This helps–

• Enhance user privacy
• Reduce attacks 
• Mitigate risks associated with credential theft

Let’s see how it works–

Decentralised Identity Systems: It uses blockchain to store encrypted raw credentials of users. Any user can share data without exposing sensitive data.

Self-Sovereign Identities (SSI): This concept empowers users to have full control and ownership over their identity data. Users can choose to disclose specific information and ensure privacy.  This feature finds applications in areas where data privacy is critical, such as financial services, travel documentation, and digital wallets.

Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attack Prevention 

DDoS is one of the common threats in cybersecurity that disrupts the network availability for users. The attacker overwhelms the server with excessive traffic. Here is how 

Blockchain helps prevent DDoS attacks–

• Distribution of Network Resources:  Blockchain supports the secure distribution of network resources across multiple nodes. This prevents attackers from targeting a single point of failure or the server.
  
• Analyse Traffic: Smart contracts on blockchain can also verify the incoming traffic to identify threats and filter out malicious requests before they reach the target server.  

Secure Supply Chain Management

The integrity of the supply chain is essential to maintain trust in an organisation. Here is how blockchain ensures transparency and security in the supply chain.  

• Immutable Record: A blockchain-backed system helps create an immutable record of all transactions on the supply chain. All authorised persons in the supply chain ecosystem can verify the record. Any attempt to tamper with data is traceable and prevented.  
  
• Real-time Tracking: Blockchain systems enable continuous and real-time tracking of goods throughout the supply chain. This enables manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and customers to monitor and trace product movement, confirming the authenticity of goods.  

Why Leaders Should Consider Blockchain Technology?  

Let’s discuss the role of leaders in the effective implementation of blockchain technology.

As a technical project lead or CTO of a company, the most important aspect they can consider to improve is interoperability. As businesses work in silos and have fragmented database management, it is often challenging to share and manage transactions. A dedicated blockchain system with permissioned access and a permanent record on the public blockchain helps resolve interoperability challenges and enables secure data sharing.

Project Managers can utilise blockchain for digital identity, ownership, and verification processes. As records are immutable and traceable, the project managers can cross-check documents and analyse progress at various stages of the project development. Additionally, they can use a Tokenisation mechanism to support royalty programmes and smart contracts to automate processes. 

Founders can make the best use of public distributed ledger technology to overcome the limitations of traditional systems. Using the decentralised technology, they can support the development of DeApps, Blockchain-enabled supply chain management systems and more. By eliminating intermediaries, they can reduce administrative costs and improve efficiency in the long term.  

Final Words!  

Blockchain technology is rapidly evolving and becoming an integral part of almost all sectors, be it banking, finance, supply chain, e-commerce, healthcare, and more. Its core features and benefits include adding a layer of security, transparency, and scalability into decentralised systems.

Components such as smart contracts for automation and design of custom solutions make it one of the most powerful and trusted technologies for organisations.
