Security and Privacy Risks in the Blockchain Ecosystem

8th Apr, 2020

Some of our Data Protection & Cyber Experts contributed to the winter 19/20 edition of the Cyber Security: A Peer-Reviewed Journal, with a review on security and privacy risks in the blockchain ecosystem.

  • the limits of using blockchain to record personal information in a stringent regulatory context; and
  • the solutions offered to blockchain developers.
