Research on Security Consensus Algorithm Based on Blockchain

摘要

As a distributed shared ledger and database technology, blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, tamper-proof, openness and transparency. With the continuous development of blockchain technology, the technology has received high attention from government departments, finance, technology and other industries. The key technology of blockchain is the design of consensus algorithm, which affects the overall efficiency and performance of the blockchain system. How to achieve consistency and efficiency among nodes in a simple and efficient blockchain distributed system. This paper divides consensus algorithms into CFT and BFT according to fault tolerance types, and analyzes the basic principles and consensus process of each algorithm in detail. In five aspects of block generation speed, degree of decentralization, security, consistency and resource consumption, the mainstream consensus algorithms in the blockchain are compared and analyzed, the advantages and disadvantages of each consensus algorithm are summarized. Finally, the future blockchain consensus algorithms are summarized and prospected.
