Publisher's Synopsis
Handbook of Blockchain, Digital Finance, and Inclusion, Second Edition presents the latest technological developments and innovations occurring in financial institutions and the engineering advances driving them. Students, scholars, and professionals can explore practical and academic contributions in domains not usually found together in a single resource. Volume 2: Distributed Ledger, Privacy Protection, Asia Tech, Inclusive Finance includes seven entirely new chapters on Ethereum, Empowering Inclusive Finance and Ensuring Scam-Proof Transactions, Zero Knowledge Proof, Privacy-Enhancing Computation, Blockchain Privacy, Security and Privacy Preservation of Cryptocurrency, and Transforming Global Economies.
Newly expanded into three volumes, this handbook not only emphasizes the financial opportunities made possible by digital banking, such as financial inclusion and impact investing, but it also presents the engineering theories and advances that can create additional opportunities. It provides a collection of contributions by pioneers, academics, and practitioners carefully chosen as established experts in their respective fields. Each chapter reviews, synthesizes, and analyzes the topic at hand, acknowledges areas where there are gaps between theory and practice, and suggests directions for future research when appropriate. The volumes are reorganized into distinct themes, every existing chapter is updated with the latest information, and new chapters bring even more valuable information to readers. Volume 2's combination of studies on blockchain technologies and applications, regional financial inclusion movements, advances in Chinese finance, and security issues delivers a grand perspective on both changing industries and lifestyles.
This handbook serves as a valuable reference to an international audience that wants to learn not only about their own fields of specialization but also fields related to theirs. It bridges the gap between the practical usability and the academic perspective, written in a language assessable to practitioners and graduate students alike.
