Master Thesis in Blockchain Technologies

Recently, my Master Thesis in Blockchain Technologies entitled "Wireless service accounting based on Ethereum state channels".

Abstract:

The project described in the document consists on a technological proof of concept of an internet access service consumption using a state channel smart contract as mean of payment. After a brief introduction, there's a first motivation of the use case included; in the following sections there's a detailed explanation of the architecture, implementation and security considerations; after that it is described a more general approach about using blockchain technologies and state channels to provide mechanisms to reduce advanced wireless (i. e. 5G) services market friction between neutral host providers, virtual operators and operators purchasing licenses of spectrum bands to nations' governments; ideally achieving an unprecedented transparency guarantee to consumers and a fully GDPR compliant schema relying on a self-sovereign identity system.

Keywords: Ethereum, state channels, self-sovereign identity system, and Internet access.

The results were written into a paper based on Ethereum Yellow Paper template. The following figure shows the first page (abstract).
