The Flatiron School // Access Labs are proud to support the Ethereum Blockchain Devs Study Group. This is a regular gathering for Blockchain Devs of all levels to learn, present, work on in collaboration with one another or on solo projects in this fast-growing field. Our community is a welcoming space where any Ethereum & de-centralized ledger related question is fair game, be it beginner, intermediate, or advanced.

AGENDA
------------------------
6:30pm - 7:00pm: General Blockchain Beginner Q&A
7:00pm - 8:45pm: IBM Intro, Privacy Demos, & Security Presentation
7:20pm - 8:50pm: Q&A
8:50pm - 9:00pm: wrap up
TODAY:
Hyperledger Fabric (HLF) blockchains architecture was designed from the ground up to be highly extensible with plug & play modules in order to meet most business cases. The many permutations of these modules, also make it hard to decide what to use & how to configure them properly. In most cases this is not well documented, nor are the best practices easy to find, & hence seldom followed. This results in unsafe, buggy, & slow systems not worthy of what one expects of any enterprise application, blockchain none-withstanding!
In this session, we will address the challenges of privacy & security by presenting the best patterns & methodologies, of how to implement enterprise grade HLF blockchain implementations. Further more we will cite real world examples illustrated with diagrams, code-patterns & in some cases short demos or video segments.

If you attend this session, you can expect to:
* Obtain a deep understanding of the privacy mechanisms in the current HLF version 1.4
* Learn about the security aspects of HLF & IBM Blockchain platform with respect to choosing the right mix of pluggable modules, configuration as well as cloud topology. Get a good feel of how important it is to consider the impact of hardware choices on security for your particular blockchain use case.
* Find out what kind of businesses & verticals that are adopting some or all of these privacy & security mechanisms in the real world today.
