Blockchain Algorithm Literature Review

Abstract

Abstract Within the last decade, blockchain has become a security technology used to protect the integrity of the information contained in a database, especially in collaborative and open systems. One of its main advantages is that it allows consensus to be reached on the new blocks of data that are added to the chain. There are several other techniques in the literature that claim to be popular new mechanisms. Despite this, the number of these technologies has grown too quickly to separate all the possibilities. This work reviews the types of algorithms that can be implemented to have a network supervised by the participants that integrate it.
