Structure and arguments

Starting from a focused approach on the computation of elliptic curves of finite fields and presenting the discrete logarithm problem as a cornerstone of public key cryptography, the workshop sheds light on the most ingenious and innovative aspects of Bitcoin technology.

Game theory, computer science and monetary theory will be examined and analyzed in an attempt to adequately convey the interdisciplinarity of the subject.

Furthermore, technical and programming notions on digital signatures, blockchain, Merkle tree, addresses, transactions and timestamps are transmitted to the participants to learn how to evaluate the characteristics and limits of the Bitcoin protocol.

The course, lasting two days, takes place through frontal lessons with slides and related bibliography.

There are also tutorials on Python programming and workshops on Bitcoin Core, Electrum and OpenTimestamps.
