The Promise of Blockchain
"The technology most likely to
change the next decade of
business is not the Social, Big
Data, the Cloud, Robotics, or
even AI. It is the Blockchain!“
—Harvard Business Review
"The Impact of Blockchain Goes
Beyond Financial Services,"
May 2016

"We are in the process of
developing a New Operating
System (OS) for the planet.”
— Jeremy Wilson
Vice Chairman of Corporate Banking
Barclay’s Bank
Blockchain for Finance conference,
October 2017

Blockchain technology is coming to
change all sorts of industries …
comparable to the change from hand-
written paperwork to electronic
databases.
Inc Magazine, May 2018
Global Spend
2018: $1.5B 2022: $11.7B
Added Business Value
2026: $360B 2030: $3.1T
65% of companies over >10K
employees considering or
actively engaging in blockchain
deployment

Eliminating intermediaries means reduced transaction costs and
near real-time transaction execution
Increased confidence in the information and reduced fraud
opportunities
Increased adutiability and trust
Automated business processes in a trusted way. Represent any
asset digitally
Eliminates manual efforts and delays due to reconciliation
needs since data consistency is a key attribute of the distributed
ledger
Blockchain Technology
Disruptive Characteristics / Benefits
Decentralized, peer-to-peer network
No central, controlling authority
Distributed Ledger
All participants maintain a copy of the ledger
Immutable transaction history
Impossible to make changes to existing
transactions in a blockchain without detection
Transparent
Transactions on a blockchain are visible to the
authorized participants
Smart Contracts
Business logic deployed on a blockchain and
shared and validated by participants

Two Key Types of Blockchain
PermissionedPermissionless
• Anyone can join the network and have a
copy of the ledger
• This involves computer resource
intensive processes to protect the
Blockchain incl. mining
• Additional mechanisms to protect
network from overload if smart contracts
used
• Typically B-2-C, C-2-C (eg. Bitcoin,
Ethereum)
• Closed ecosystem: members are
invitation-only
• Less intrinsic protection needed, thus
greater scalability (protection through
firewalls, identity management, defined
smart contracts)
• Typically B-2-B (eg. Hyperledger/Oracle)

What is Hyperledger Fabric?
• Fabric – open-source platform for distributed ledger solutions that is
intended as a foundation for developing blockchain solutions
– Provides a permissioned blockchain model with membership
services
– Designed with modular architecture allowing components, such as
consensus and membership services, to be pluggable
– Programmable – leverages containers to host smart contracts for
automating business processes
– Focuses on a scalable implementation by separating smart contract
execution from block creation
– Provides private channels for conducting confidential/private
transactions with invited members
– Open-governed community for enterprise blockchain hosted by The
Linux Foundation
– No cryptocurrency required!
Permissioned, Open-Source, Enterprise, B2B

Linux Foundation
• Open-governed community for enterprise blockchain hosted by The Linux Foundation
– Governance model broadly accepted within industry
– Oracle as a member has a voice in decisions and participates in technical committees
• Fabric project – open-source platform for distributed ledger solutions that is intended
as a foundation for developing blockchain solutions
– Other projects as part of Hyperledger Foundation ecosystem (Indy, Iroha, Sawtooth)
Open-Source

Components of a HyperLedger Fabric Blockchain
13
Peers
Maintain the state of the
network and a copy of the
ledger
• Endorsers: simulate and endorse
transactions
• Committers: verify endorsements
and validate transaction results, prior to
commiting transactions to the blockchain.

14
Peers
Ledger
(World State)
A shared, permissioned ledger that is an
append-only system of records and serves
as a single source of truth.
• Chain: transaction log. structured as hash-linked blocks,
where each block contains a sequence of N transactions. The
block header includes a hash of the block’s transactions, as
well as a hash of the prior block’s header.
• State DB: ‘World State’ is modeled as a versioned
key/value store (KVS). It reflects the current data about all the
assets in the network. This data is stored in a database for
efficient access. (LevelDB and/or CouchDB).
✓ Keys are simple names or composite, i.e., constructed
keys.
✓ Values are arbitrary blobs, JSON often used.
• History DB: Maintains a history of the values of a key
Currently in Fabric just a pointer into ledger.

15
Peers
Smart Contracts
Ledger
(World State)
Server side code, smart contracts
(chaincode – business logic) can
be written in:
• Go
• NodeJS
• Java
Client side code can be written in:
• Go
• NodeJS
• Java
• Python

16
Peers
Consensus
Smart Contracts
Ledger
(World State)
The process of reaching agreement on
the next set of transactions to be
added to the ledger:
• Transaction endorsement
• Ordering
• Validation and commitment

17
Peers
Consensus
Smart Contracts
Ledger
(World State)
Membership
Service
Controls enrollment of network
members (organizations) and provides
related cryptographic services.
Implements a CA architecture with
Root CA and intermediate CAs
– Enrollment (ECerts).
– TLS (TCerts).

Clients are applications that act
on behalf of a person to propose
transactions on the network:
• Java SDK
• NodeJS SDK
• Go SDK
• Python SDK

Ledger
X
• Collaborative network of organizations
using a common blockchain
– Oracle cloud or heterogeneous nodes
• Create a new network or add to an
existing network
• Ensure privacy by creating channels with
distinct policies and data access
spanning multiple orgs
