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.
