Still Searching for Satoshi
We are at the threshold of a new area of the internet that promises to transform the way we engage financially and take the power of data and privacy back from big corporations and give it to the individual through decentralization. This is sometimes called Web 3.0. While Web 1.0 transformed information sharing and commerce and brought us giants like Google and Amazon and Web 2.0 unlocked the social potential of the internet and created Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat, exactly what will come of Web 3.0 remains to be seen. It is indisputable that the seed of Web 3.0 is the technological, social, and economic innovations that came together in Bitcoin and the blockchain technology it created. But where the first web iterations were relatively straightforward to understand, the inner workings of Web 3.0 remain more opaque and shrouded in mystique. Current voices on Bitcoin and the blockchain revolution fall squarely into one of two camps; either technological "experts" who are all also invariably personally invested in the success of Bitcoin and the blockchain or "critics" who are typically deeply invested in the status quo and the failure of Bitcoin and blockchain. It seems like there is a need for a middle ground to provide the public with a more unbiased view of this important technology. This book therefore aims to unveil some of the mystique and show how to unlock the potential of the blockchain revolution in a manner that does not dismiss out of hand even radical and outlandish ideas nor jumps on the bandwagon of hailing Bitcoin and the blockchain as the answer to all problems. What you'll learn The nature of blockchain technology, how it works and what it does.The history of the technological developments that lead to the blockchain.A historical analysis of who the likely creator of Bitcoin is.How bitcoin and cryptocurrencies fit in the history of human exchange.The nature and history of electronic money.How blockchain technology solves problems in a novel way and what it cannot be used for.What web 3.0 could be. Who This Book Is For This book is for a general non-technical audience trying to understand the difficult and complex nature of blockchain and cryptocurrencies and the contours of the Web 3.0 revolution.

Dynamic Routing Protocols. Creating Stability and Reliability through Evaluation and Comparison
Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Computer Science - Internet, New Technologies, grade: 1,5, language: English, abstract: The main objective of this study is the empirical analysis of the evaluation and comparison of dynamic routing protocols regarding their stability and reliability. An especially close look will be paid to EIGRP, OSPF, and RIP; RIP (Routing Information Protocol) being one of the oldest routing protocols still in service. A routing protocol is a protocol which is responsible to determine how routers communicate with each other and forward packets through an optimal path, travelling from source node to destination node. Each routing protocols performs in different ways. They have their own architecture, route to follow and sometimes even delays in packets. OSPF builds a database of routes to its neighbors, using an algorithm to calculate the best possible path. EIGRP is a vector routing protocol that is used on a computer network to help automate routing decisions and configuration. The author of this text is not a native English speaker.

Change Management for Risk Professionals
Change Management for Risk Professionals addresses a need in the marketplace for risk professionals to learn about change management. Organizations exist within a complex and changing environment. The changes within the organizational context (e.g., societal, technological, and customer preferences) place pressure upon the organization to remain relevant and competitive. Change is not inherently wrong; our perceptions of the change make it negative or positive. A perceived negative change can become a real opportunity for improvement if desired. Systemic degradation and irrelevancy are the results of an organization that fails to acknowledge the reality of change. The book focuses on the dynamics of change management with an eye toward the risk professional. There is a real need for an uncomplicated resource that helps educate non-change management professionals involved in risk-oriented change initiatives. Examples of risk disciplines are organizational resilience, business continuity, risk management, crisis management, and security management, but any discipline or function within an organization focuses on risk. Any organizational project is an initiative requiring dynamic change management skills. The author brings his extensive experience to offer risk practitioners advice, industry examples, and best practices to the change management process. Change Management for Risk Professionals will be a welcome addition to enterprise-wide business continuity, crisis management, disaster recovery, security management, and homeland security professionals wanting to learn the secrets to becoming successful in initiating organizational change.
Design for Real Life

Biased Algorithms in Law Enforcement Agencies. A Case Study of the LA Police Department
Case Study from the year 2023 in the subject Computer Science - Internet, New Technologies, grade: 1,0, Charles University in Prague (Faculty of Social Sciences), course: Security and Technology, language: English, abstract: This paper tries to answer the question, how the LA Police Department uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms to profile criminality. Can these algorithms always be fair and impartial? In today's society, we are constantly surrounded by artificial intelligence, especially by algorithms that try to profile us to predict our future behaviour. These algorithms are deeply embedded in our daily lives, whether we are watching Netflix, using Amazon music or do online shopping, they try to present us with suggestions to get us more involved with the platform to spend more time there and therefore more money. But these algorithms are not only operated by business companies alone, they are also implemented with public policy providers and law enforcement agencies, like police forces. First, the author gives a detailed explanation of how these algorithms work, then he lists examples in which areas police forces might use these algorithms, such as facial recognition software and making suggestions about the sentencing of criminals. However, the paper also discusses critique of the use of technology by law enforcement. Many ascribe these algorithms a certain bias, especially racially, having mainly been trained on a dataset, which in itself is biased. The next chapter contains the author's methodology, which he then applies to his case study about the LA Police Department in the last part of his paper.
