Blockchain Security Tools

Two weeks ago the show was about Blockchain Security, this week I will be talking about various tools available for some blockchain platforms. Basic blockchain architecture as it pertains to block creation and consensus mechanisms is very sound. The algorithms used to accomplish the cryptographic functions might be questionable. Hence special consideration should be given to key management, key length, hashing algorithms, and the environment that activity is conducted in. To date none of the block chains have been hacked or maliciously modified, hence from that aspect we are safe. If you consider blockchain mechanisms to be the foundation, which are unhackable at this point, the next few layers above is where the problems start.
