The Myths of Blockchain Governance
Corporate Governance: An International Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Research Question/Issue Blockchain technology promises to revolutionize governance through strong commitments, trustlessness, and transparency. This paper examines how these promises have failed to materialize in practice. Research Findings/Insights Drawing on case evidence from major blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, I argue that ...

Functional Graphs and Their Applications in Generic Attacks on Iterated Hash Constructions
IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology, 2018 We provide a survey about generic attacks on cryptographic hash constructions including hash-based message authentication codes and hash combiners. We look into attacks involving iteratively evaluating identical mappings many times.

Multi-Dimensional Hash Chains and Application to Micropayment Schemes [PDF]
, 2006 One-way hash chains have been used in many micropayment schemes due to their simplicity and efficiency. In this paper we introduce the notion of multi-dimensional hash chains, which is a new generalization of traditional one-way hash chains. We show that this construction has storage-computational complexity of O(logN) per chain element, which is ...

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This paper contributes to the understanding of the complex relationship between British economic performance during the Napoleonic wars and the ‘West Indies’, as the Caribbean slave colonies were called. Not only did profits from slave‐based commerce provide financing for the growth of the financial sector, as has been claimed, but the risk of

An Economic Analysis of Difficulty Adjustment Algorithms in Proof‐of‐Work Blockchain Systems
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the stability of cryptocurrency systems through difficulty adjustment. Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment algorithm (DAA) exhibits instability when the reward elasticity of the hash rate is high, implying that a sharp price reduction could disrupt the current Bitcoin system.

A Framework for Blockchain Interoperability and Runtime Selection
, 2019 The suitability of a particular blockchain for a given use case depends mainly on the blockchain's functional and non-functional properties. Such properties may vary over time, and thus, a selected blockchain may become unsuitable for a given use case ...

The application of hash chains and hash structures to cryptography
, 2009 In this thesis we study how hash chains and other hash structures can be used in various cryptographic applications. In particular we focus on the applications of entity authentication, signatures and key establishment. We study recursive application of hash functions to create hash chains, hash trees and other hash structures. We collate all these to

Exploring collagen fibrillogenesis at the nanoscale: Tip‐enhanced Raman imaging of protofibrils
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Collagen, a key structural component of the extracellular matrix, assembles through a hierarchical process of fibrillogenesis. Despite extensive studies on mature collagen fibrils, intermediates such as protofibrils remain underexplored, particularly at the nanoscale.

Intentionality and Attentionality Dynamics in an Institutional Change Process
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, we explore how actors' intentionality emerges, develops, and co‐evolves with institutional change. Although intentions are essential in shaping institutional change agents' motivations and actions, our understanding of their dynamics is limited and biased by the assumption that intentions are usually identifiable prior to ...
