National University Fast CFD Campus: Project Proposal

Ahmed Waheed and Ozair Aziz propose to implement a blockchain-based cryptocurrency called OurCoin for their Data Structures course project. Key features will include storing timestamped blocks in an immutable chain, with each block containing a cryptographic hash of the previous block. The blockchain data structure will use a linked list where each block is identified by a SHA-256 hash and references the previous block. Upon completion, they will present a fully functional blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Project Title: BlockChain


Course: Data Structures
Course Instructor: Asma Satar
Group Members: Ahmed Waheed (F17-9433)

Description of Project
Blockchain is the new emerging technology. It is simply a growing list of records
which are linked using cryptography. A digital ledger in which transactions made in
bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded chronologically and publicly.

List of Features
We will implement a public database where new data are stored in a container
called a block and are added to an immutable chain (hence blockchain) with data
added in the past
In OurCoin, we’re going to store block with timestamp and index. And to help ensure
integrity throughout the blockchain, each block will have a self-identifying hash. Like
Bitcoin, each block’s hash will be a cryptographic hash of the block’s index,
timestamp, data, and the hash of the previous block’s hash. For computing hash we
will use SHA-256

Data Structure to be used


The blockchain data structure is a back-linked list of blocks of transactions, which is
ordered. Each block is identifiable by a hash, generated using the SHA-256
cryptographic hash algorithm on the header of the block. Each block references a
previous block, also known as the parent block, in the “previous block hash” field, in
the block header.

Deliverables:
We will present fully functional blockchain based cryptocurrency.
