  5. • 3,437 registered telecom companies • 31% of all requests

    at regulator (19,000 cases, 3,000 escalations) • 300,000 EUR fines in 2016 Source: Yearly report 2016 of German network regulator, page 62 ff. (https://goo.gl/cPQcXV) Size of the problem (in Germany)
  6. • Independent actors • Varying levels of trust between actors

    • Need for transparency (for example by trusted replica sets of data) • Without introducing central authorities Our Scenario
  7. "A blockchain [...] is a continuously growing list of records,

    called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp and transaction data" Wikipedia, March 26, 2018 Blockchain – What is this?
  8. Blockchain Genesis Block Block 1 Random Content Genesis Hash Content

    Genesis Hash Block 1 Hash Block 2 Content Block 1 Hash Block 2 Hash Block 3 Content Block 2 Hash Block 3 Hash Config
  9. Node 1 Peer-to-Peer Replication Genesis Block Block 1 Block 2

    Block 3 Node 2 Genesis Block Block 1 Block 2 Block 3 Node n Genesis Block Block 1 Block 2 Block 3 Block 4 Block 4 Block 4 Block 5 Block 5 Block 5
  10. Node 1 Nodes are independent, without central authority Node 2

    Node 3 Node 4 Node 5 Node 6 Node 7 Node 8 Node 9
  11. Two main models of operation Public blockchains Ethereum, Bitcoin, ...

    Private blockchains Telco E Telco C Telco A Telco F Telco G Telco B Telco D BNA Telco X Consortiums, governments, ... ? ! Telco X
  12. Public Blockchains • Identities of participants are unknown • Therefore:

    mining to secure the network's integrity (proof-of-work, Nakamoto consensus) • Typically, all data is public • Low transaction counts: <= 20 per seconds globally (Bitcoin, Ethereum)
  13. Private Blockchains • Participants are known, access protected • Therefore:

    No mining necessary (proof-of-authority instead of proof-of-Work) E C A F G B D BNA X G #1 #2 #3 G #1 #2 #3 G #1 #2 #3 #4 • Transactions can be public or private (direct point-to-point exchange between two participants) • Massively higher transaction counts (hundreds, thousands or tens of thousand per second) • Technologies like Hyperledger Fabric
  14. • Signed statements, which are immutable and can't be deleted

    ("transactions") What's in a Block? In practice: machine readable, for example as transaction records Our verified customer John Doe, born on 1/1/1911 wants to transfer his phone number 0151-123 123 123 from Telco A to us Signed: Telco B We're ok with this transfer Signed: Telco A
  15. • Transactions are recorded in definitive sequence Properties of Transactions

    Block 1 Tx #1 Tx #2 Tx #3 Block 2 Tx #4 Tx #5 Block 3 Tx #6 Tx #7 Tx #8 Block 4 Tx #9 Block 5 Tx #10 ...
  16. • Parts of transactions can be encrypted Properties of Transactions

    {"tx":"requestTransfer", "phone":"0151-123123123", owner: "TelcoA", encryptedCustomerData: "0xe2cbcf5f890afabc4dbd236d19f949db 05fcec2155..."} Signed: Telco B Encrypted with public key of Telco A
  17. • Content can be hashes of external data Properties of

    Transactions {"tx":"requestTransfer", "phone":"0151-123123123", owner: "TelcoA", signedScannedContractHash: "0x80ebe76679b4812cde61d555c9026...", encryptedCustomerData: "..."} Signed: Telco B "I've got a PDF here (which I won't share) which has this hash" • To later prove the existance (at the time of block creation) and integrity of external data
  18. • Data which has been transferred point-to-point can be referenced

    Properties of Transactions {"tx":"requestTransfer", "phone":"0151-123123123", owner: "TelcoA", externalDataHash: "0x5489b348f7a433...", } Signed: Telco B Hash-reference to a piece of data which has been sent directly • To ensure transaction privacy, only parties of the transactions will get access to its data (f.e. Fabric's private data collections)
  19. Blockchain: replicated, immutable* sequence of transactions * Within clearly defined

    conditions. More about these later. Interium conclusion
  20. • How does the system check, whether or not a

    transation is valid? Validity of Transactions? We're ok with the transfer of phone number 0151-123 123 123 Signed: Telco B Telco C 0151-123 123 123 is not with Telco B, but belongs to us! • Solved by laws, contracts & penalties (post-fact) • Or by technology (pre-fact)
  21. • Rules that define if a transaction is valid •

    Read and write "World State": the actual information in the blockchain Smart Contracts Number Owner 0151123123123 Telco C 01511111111111 Telco A 01511111111112 Telco Z

    01511111111112 Telco Z We are ok with the transfer of 0151-123 123 123 to Telco A. Signed: Telco B function confirmTransfer(number, transferTarget) { if (owner[number] == msg.sender) { owner[number] = transferTarget; } else throw; } owner[number] == msg.sender Cryptographic verification throw Transaction flagged as invalid Failed
  23. Node 1 Key Value 0151123123123 Telco C 01511111111111 Telco A

    01511111111112 Telco Z We are ok with the transfer of 0151-123 123 123 to Telco A. Signed: Telco C function confirmTransfer(number, transferTarget) { if (owner[number] == msg.sender) { owner[number] = transferTarget; } else throw; } owner[number] == msg.sender Cryptographic verification owner[number] = transferTarget; Changes World State Key Value 0151123123123 Telco A 01511111111111 Telco A 01511111111112 Telco Z OK
  24. Docker-Container (managed) How are smart contracts executed? Ethereum Node Inside

  28. • Usually, only one node creates a new block (algorithmic

    selection for each block) • Especially in proof-of-work blockchains: • Collisions: Protocol-specific definition of correct chain • Number of confirmations! • In Proof-of-Authority: during network disconnect
  29. • Smart Contracts - or rather their side effects -

    have to be deterministic for all relevant nodes • Communication with off-chain services: asynchronous (events) with signed answer- transaction to original requester • This concept is called "oracle" Smart Contracts & external data
  30. Blockchains are replicated databases which use decentralized code execution (smart

    contracts) to achieve early and shared consensus about their data (instead of later re-conciliation)
  31. • Hyperledger itself is not a technology, but a project

    of the Linux Foundation • An umbrella for blockchain technologies • For example Fabric, Sawtooth, Iroha, Indy, … • Additional tools • Cello, Explorer, Composer What is Hyperledger?
  32. • A platform to create private, permissioned blockchains • Created

    mainly for B2B use • Not ICOs, public cryptocurrencies, … • Original creators and main drivers: IBM • Governance-constructs built in • The backend for IBM, Oracle, SAP, ... Blockchain offerings What is Fabric?
  33. • Organizations • Peers & Orderer • Chaincode & State-DB

    (f.e. CouchDB) • Endorsement & Policies • Channels and Private Data Collections Key Concepts
  34. Organizations: provide certs for their users Telco 1 Telco 2

    Regulator Provide membership services (CAs) for peer nodes and users (MSP => Membership Service Provider)
  35. • A Fabric network consists of multiple peers • Peers

    can join channels • Channels are independent blockchains • Only the participants of a channel can see its data • Channels are permissioned! • Transient or permanent subsets: private data collections Channels are blockchains!
  36. • Can theoretically be written in any programming language which

    understands GRPC • SDKs available for Go, Node.js, Java; .NET in progress • Can interact (read/write) with the ledger's data • Run in separate docker container Chaincode == Smart Contracts
  37. Chaincode Deployment peer1.telco1.com peer1.regulator.com Node.js sources Chaincode Package (name &

    version) Install (by admin of organization) peer chaincode package <…> peer chaincode install <…> peer chaincode install <…> numbertransfer, v1 numbertransfer, v1 Note: Packaging is optional, both admins could install from source.
  38. Chaincode Instantiation peer1.telco1.com peer1.regulator.com numbertransfer, v1 numbertransfer, v1 channel1 peer

    chaincode instantiate -n numbertransfer -v v1 -C channel1 -P <endorsement policy> numbertransfer:v1
  39. Deployment of Version 2 peer1.telco1.com peer1.regulator.com Node.js sources for v2

    peer chaincode install <…> peer chaincode install <…> numbertransfer, v1 numbertransfer, v1 Note: We could have installed using a package as well. (Like before) numbertransfer, v2 numbertransfer, v2
  40. peer1.telco1.com peer1.regulator.com numbertransfer, v1 numbertransfer, v1 numbertransfer, v2 numbertransfer, v2

    Chaincode Upgrade channel1 peer chaincode upgrade -n numbertransfer -v v2 -C channel1 -P <endorsement policy> numbertransfer:v1 numbertransfer:v2
  41. • Chaincode is packaged and explicitly installed on individual peers

    • Not all peers need each chaincode • Chaincode can exist in multiple versions on a peer • Chaincode is instantiated for one of more channels • Instantiation == Binding of a particular chaincode version to a channel via a specific endorsement policy • Chaincode can be upgraded for a channel (=> bound to a different existing chaincode version on the peers) Chaincode / Smart Contracts
  42. • How is the chaincode executed? • Upon the first

    transaction (or instantiation for the initial node), a docker image (and container) is created and started • Can you stop/remove chaincode? • Only manually by stopping the container, removing the image and deleting the directory on the host (http://bit.ly/CC_for_ops_1_3) • Do I need to keep all versions around? • No: because of how endorsement works with Fabric • Does every node need access to the chaincode? • No: because of how endorsement works with Fabric Chaincode FAQs
  43. Endorsement Policies numbertransfer version: v1 endorsementpolicy: AND( 'Regulator.member', OutOf( 2,

  47. • Every operation in Fabric is permissioned • https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.3/policies.html •

    https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.3/endorsement-policies.html • Configurable policies • Any, all, m-out-of, majority (for config changes) • And, Or Permissions and Policies AND ('Regulator1.Admin', OutOf(2, 'Telco1.Admin', 'Telco2.Admin', 'Telco3.Admin'))
  48. • Essential for Fabric transaction flow • Orderers are ...

    • ... consensus-forming nodes • ... block creators • Orderers transfer blocks to peers; no direct peer- to-peer sync of the blockchain Orderers

  52. • Transactions are processed on a client-selected subset of peers

    • Policy is defined during instantiation or upgrade of a chaincode • “Regulator AND two of Telco A, Telco B, or Telco B“ • Endorsers sign off on transactions after chaincode simulation (no ledger changes, only simulation!) Endorsement
  53. Transaction Request Collecting all endorsements on the client Proposal {

    Write Set peer1.telco1.com peer1.telco2.com peer1.telco3.com peer1.regulator.com channel1 channel2 channel1 channel1 channel1 channel1 2) Orderers forms consensus and create a new block 3) New block is distributed to peers 4) Peers check that block comes from valid orderer 5) Peers add the block to their chains and process transactions 1) Client sends TX message to one orderer
  55. • Responsibility of orderers: • Form consensus about the sequence

    of transactions • Create blocks consisting of individual transactions • Distribute the resulting blocks • NOT: check if transactions are valid/endorsed! • Today, there are two completed consensus options: "Solo" and "Kafka" • CFT (etcd/raft) and BFT are work in progress Orderers create blocks

  57. • Client uses SDK to create a proposal and send

    it to endorsers • Endorsers simulate chaincode execution; sign read-set and write-set • Client uses SDK to verify endorsement (optional) • Client sends transaction (proposal + endorsement) to orderer • Orderers create a block (for one channel) and broadcast to peers • Peer verifies endorsement and read-set against its copy of the ledger • If ok, the peer incorporates the write-set in its copy of the ledger • Erroneous transactions remain in the blockchain but will be flagged Complete Fabric Transaction Flow
  58. • Organizations: Regulator, Telco1, Telco2, Telco3 • Each with one

    peer and a CouchDB state database • One orderer (Solo) • In Docker: also CLI nodes for each org, which contain tools Our Demo Network
  59. • Tip: use a single-peer endorsement policy • Start peer

    with --peer-chaincodedev=true • Start chaincode to connect to peer: Debugging Chaincode export CORE_CHAINCODE_ID_NAME=simplecontract:v0 # <contractname>:<version> node node_modules/fabric-shim/bin/chaincodestart --peer.address grpc://localhost:7052
  60. • Install – physical deployment to a peer • Instantiate

    – logical binding to a channel; specifies endorsement policies and private data collections • Invoke – send a TX to chaincode (Docker container started on demand!) • Query – retrieve read-only data • Upgrade – binding of a different chaincode to a channel (incl. new policies) Chaincode Lifecycle
  61. • In Docker image hyperledger/fabric-tools • cryptogen – generate certificates

    if not using a CA • configtxgen – create configuration transactions • configtxlater – translator between different config representations Base Fabric tools
  62. Please note: The step numbers on the following slides refer

    to the scripts/node sources in the demo download
  63. • Create an initial network with DemoOrg1 and DemoOrg2 and

    one application channel (#001 to #004) • Deploy and instantiate chaincode #005 to #007 (#006 is optional for debugging) • Interact with chaincode (in ./nodejs): #008 to #011 • Examine chaincode events #100/#101 (in ./nodejs) • Query peers and discovery #102/#103 Initial Scenario Overview
  64. • Cryptogen reads cryptoconfig.yaml • Creates root CAs (for each

    organization), private keys and certificates for peers, Admins and users • Output in ./crypto-config • Important: in real life, each organization would generate its part independently and only share the public certificate, but not the private keys Step 001 – Generate base cryptographic material
  65. • Configtxgen reads different profiles in configtx.yaml (in demo download)

    • Generates genesis block for network itself • Generates genesis block for demochannel • Generates anchor peer update for DemoOrg1 • Generates anchor peer update for DemoOrg2 Step 002 – Create transactions for initial network
  66. • Docker containers are started using the configuration in docker-

    compose.yaml • The CORE_* environment variables in docker-compose.yaml refer to entries in core.yaml • CORE_PEER_LOCALMSPID for example overrides core.peer.localMspId • FABRIC_CFG_PATH is set to /etc/hyperledger/fabric in the docker images. This directory contains core.yaml. • Important: if you want to debug chaincode, you should configure one of the peers to start with --peer-chaincodedev Step 003 – Start containers
  67. • Wait 5-10 seconds after starting the containers to allow

    the nodes to fully start up before running 004! • In #004, the transactions from #002 are sent to the network (using docker –exec on the fabric-tools nodes) • A channel is created, both DemoOrg1 and DemoOrg2 join the channel and Step 004 – Create Channels
  68. • Chaincode is installed on either one node only, or

    also on a second node • peer chaincode install is executed in the cli container (based on the image fabric-tools) • If you want to debug your code, you can use 006 to start the chaincode process Steps 005 and 006 – Installing Chaincode
  69. • Chaincode is instantiated for the channel 'demochannel' • Depending

    on the script you choose at this step, the endorsement policy will be one of: • DemoOrg1 • DemoOrg1 AND DemoOrg2 Step 007 – Instantiating Chaincode
  70. • In steps 008 to 011 (in ./nodejs), you will

    see different ways to interact with the chaincode • With or without discovery • With or without waiting for TX completion • Finally with a "nicer" code structure Steps 008 to 011 – Interact with Chaincode
  71. • 200-208 (203 & 208 are node.js): Adding a member

    to the network • Generate cryptographic assets, start containers • Pull current config block (genesis or latest config update) • Create a "target" configuration and use configtxlator to calculate difference update from current config • Have majority of existing member sign the config update • Submit it to the orderer Additional scripts for your networks
  72. • 300-303: upgrade and downgrade channel chaincode versions • Including

    change of endorsement policy • Documentation (architecture overview) states that multiple signatures can be required for chaincode instantiation; this is however not yet implemented Additional scripts for your networks
  73. • Blockchain fundamentals • Blocks, transactions, consensus, mining, smart contracts,

    … • Building blocks of a Fabric network • Transaction flow in Fabric • Chaincode basics – Fabric‘s smart contracts • Chaincode development end-to-end • Typical network configuration for Fabric What have we seen today?
  74. a) Do you have independent participants? • No central authority?

    • No asymmetric power concentration? • Is everyone participating voluntarily? b) Do you need transparent and immutable shared data? c) Do you need trusted shared code execution? Can blockchains support my use case?
  75. Your business model should be decentralized to use decentralized technology.

    If your business model is a database, use a database. Put an API in front. It's much simpler.
  76. Documenting Collaborating Transforming • „Timestamping“ • Put a hash of

    your private documents or data on a blockchain • Technical proof of integrity and existence of documents and data at a certain point in time • Relatively easy to implement, quick ROI • No – or only small – focus on smart contracts
  77. Documenting Collaborating Transforming • Data exchange and process transparency •

    States of processes managed via blockchain • Digitization of paper processes between companies • Phone number porting • „Loi Hamon“ in France
  78. Documenting Collaborating Transforming • Create new business opportunities and markets

    • Reality check: Increased complexity due to the number of stakeholders
  79. • Problem with car insurance • Risk assessment (and policy

    pricing) based on number of years of accident-free car ownership • But what about car sharing users?
