Blockchain Security Testing

The Blockchain technology is transforming businesses by helping them collaborate better, share information, and track assets safely. The benefits of blockchain-enabled precision, security, and efficiency are benefitting multiple sectors and domains, such as finance, healthcare, retail, and more.

The Blockchain technology is also being used by Governments to create, validate, and improve people’s access to self-sovereign (international ID) identities. An international ID is accessible anywhere in the world, allows people to manage their digital personas, have a better control over their identity, connect with family members, and even receive money without a bank account. Using Blockchain to achieve this task, the following activities are performed to provide the security as desired:

How does Blockchain works?

What is Blockchain & Why is Blockchain Applications Testing Needed?

Enterprises across the globe are continuously looking for a secure platform using which they can transparently share information with absolute trust. Blockchain applications can prove to be the answer to this need.

A Blockchain application is expected to gather and order data into Blocks, and then Chain them together securely using cryptography, bringing in multiple benefits across almost every industry. However, Blockchain programming and adoption comes with its inherent challenges. Blockchain companies must deal with high initial investments, integration issues with legacy systems, high energy consumptions, privacy and security issues, and apprehension around the blockchain integration process. This makes testing blockchain technology applications business-critical.

Cigniti provides focused testing services for applications that involves validation mechanisms as well as testing for Shift-left approaches, API, Functional/Non-functional Testing, Integration Testing, Security Testing, Compliance Testing, & Performance Testing. It can even comprise of specialized testing such as Peer/Node testing and Smart Contract Testing.

What is Blockchain & Why is Blockchain Applications Testing Needed

Blockchain programming

Blockchain can be segmented by the kind of access points it offers. To begin with, there are 3 popular types of Blockchains.

Public Blockchain
Considered to be “fully decentralized”, a public blockchain has no restriction on access, is secured by cryptoeconomics, and anyone can read, send transactions to, and participate.

Semi-private Blockchains
Blockchain companies that target B2B users use semi-private blockchains that are managed just like private web apps or how a company runs a website. A few examples include government entities for record-keeping, land titles, public records, etc.

Private Blockchains
A private blockchain is a restricted blockchain with access defined by network administrators thereby providing a greater level of privacy.

Consortium Blockchains
A blockchain where a pre-selected set of nodes control the consensus process is a consortium/ federated blockchain. Here, the right to read the blockchain may be public, or restricted to the participants. Some examples are banks & energy.
