Abstract
En 中文
Bitcoin, a widely recognized cryptocurrency, embodies features such as anonymity and decentralization. In the Bitcoin network, transactions are propagated between peers using a distributed database called a blockchain. To facilitate confidence in transactions, there is hardly any tolerance for attacks. However, the possibility of attacks exists. This paper is an attempt to examine different attacks targeting the Bitcoin network, encompassing their vulnerabilities, repercussions, and countermeasures. Various forms of attacks that might target the Bitcoin network are presented, with an exploration of their interconnections. The analysis delves into the intricacies of Bitcoin’s decentralized architecture, emphasizing the criticality of network security in maintaining its integrity.
