9.    BLOCKCHAIN GLOSSARY

 

9.1  ELCA uses the Blockchain technology to secure the Ticket Transactions and provides you hereby with the technical explanations related thereto.

 

9.2  Blockchain is a type of Distributed Ledger, comprised of digitally recorded data in packages called blocks which are linked together in chronological order in a manner that makes the data very difficult to alter once recorded, without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and a majority of the network colluding together.

 

9.3  Consensus Algorithm is an algorithm and consensus mechanism which ensures convergence towards a single, immutable version of the Distributed Ledger. It allows actors on the network to agree on the content recorded on the Blockchain, taking into consideration the fact that some actors can be faulty or malicious. this can be achieved by various means depending on the specific needs.

 

9.4  Distributed Ledger is a replicated, shared, and synchronised digital data structure maintained by Consensus Algorithm and spread across multiple sites, countries, and/or institutions.

 

9.5  Encrypted, Encryption, to Encrypt, is the method by which plaintext or any other type of data is converted from a readable form to an encoded version that can only be decoded by another entity/person if they have access to a decryption key.

 

9.6  Node is a computer running specific software which allows that computer to process and communicate pieces of information to other Nodes. In Blockchains, each Node stores a copy of the Distributed Ledger and information is relayed from peer Node to peer Node until transmitted to all Nodes in the network.

 

9.7  Participating Nodes store synchronized copies of the data on the network. Depending on the specific technology, not all nodes may necessarily store all data. if users are connected to a Participating Node, they can add new data to the Distributed Ledger, but this data needs to be sent to the Participating Node first, and then submitted to a Validating Node.

 

9.8  Permissioned Network is a network where the access is restricted and not all parties are free to add information to the Blockchain. In this way, trusted intermediaries are reintroduced into the system, which impacts the allocation of control over it.

 

9.9  Private Key is a randomly generated string of numbers and letters mathematically related to a Wallet, i.e. here your TIXnGO Account, which allows the user to access and use the data and information contained in his/her Wallet.

 

9.10       Private Network is a closed network where the Blockchain information and data are generally accessible or only accessible to parties that are members of a closed group. This means that Validating Nodes and Participating Nodes must be preapproved by a governance of actors. Also, in some cases, there are rules in place that define who is able to see what data.

 

9.11       Public Key is an Encrypted version of the randomly generated string of numbers and letters mathematically related to a Wallet (like its address on a network), i.e. here your TIXnGO Account.

 

9.12       Validating Nodes are specific Nodes in a network that are responsible for constituting digitally recorded data in packages and broadcasting this data on the network. In order to create a valid new block of data the Validating Nodes have to follow the exact rules specified by the Consensus Algorithm. Validating Nodes are allowed to add data to the Distributed Ledger, according to the Consensus Mechanism.

 

9.13       Wallet is a digital wallet which allows the user to access, use and manage the information and data contained within it.
