Digital asset accounting systems and digital signatures

This is another principally new practic-oriented discipline which is directly related to the use of one ‘end-to-end’ digital technology – blockchain to apply into new accounting systems, which are actually available now, to anyone and for free. The tutor is a young expert with many years of unique practical experience in the field of digital accounting systems and blockchain solutions, he is one of the best graduates of our Department and Institute, in 2021.

The discipline covers a theoretical overview of modern methods of remote identification and verification of a person, digital signatures, paperless document circulation, as well as an overview of world trends and solutions with digital data accounting systems. The “highlight” of this course is the original educational and practical material about logics and real experience of building digital data accounting systems based on blockchain, in particular – in the form of an ecosystem.

This becomes important in a context of difficult-to-predict development of neural networks (in particular, the consequences of ‘Chat GPT’). This means that blockchain-based user verification is a key (who knows if is it an only key?) technological means of containing dangerous manifestations of artificial intelligence – human-controlled or uncontrolled – for humanity. Ukrainian specialists have significant success and global prospects in this.
