Reports on Computer Systems Technology
The Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) at the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) promotes the U.S. economy and public welfare by providing technical
leadership for the Nation’s measurement and standards infrastructure. ITL develops tests, test
methods, reference data, proof of concept implementations, and technical analyses to advance
the development and productive use of information technology. ITL’s responsibilities include the
development of management, administrative, technical, and physical standards and guidelines for
the cost -effective security and privacy of other than national s ecurity -related information in
federal informa tion systems.
Abstract
Blockchains are tamper evident and tamper resistant digital ledger s implemented in a distributed
fashion (i.e., without a central repository) and usually without a central authority (i.e., a bank,
company, or government). At their basic level, they enable a community of users to record
transactions in a shared ledger within that community, such that under normal operation of the
blockchain network no transaction can be changed once published. This document provide s a
high- level technical overview of blockchain techn
