Abstract

In order to integrate the use of blockchain technologies into the daily routines of companies and institutions, it is essential to securely transmit the data stored and exchanged in these systems. Not only the security and reliability of the underlying system is important here, but also the encryption of the transferred information. Since there are usually more than two parties involved in transferring data over the blockchain in everyday applications, multi-party encryption is required. This paper introduces various encryption methods which can be used in the context of blockchain usage.
