Blockchain Demo - Python Django Project

This is a blockchain demo project developed using Python and Django, showcasing various aspects of blockchain technology, including hash generation, mining, blockchain chaining, peer-to-peer distribution, and key-based cryptography.

Features

1) Hash Page

• Path: /hash
• Converts any input string into a SHA-256 hash.
• This page allows users to input a string and generate its corresponding hash value.

2) Block Page

• Path: /block
• Converts ID, nonce, and data into a SHA-256 hash.
• Includes a button to mine and generate a hash with a prefix of 4 zeros using the nonce.

3) Blockchain Page

• Path: /blockchain
• Displays a chain of blocks, where each block is linked to its previous hash, forming a continuous blockchain.

4) Distributed Blockchain

• Path: /distributed-blockchain
• Simulates a distributed blockchain system with 3 peer blockchains, demonstrating how blockchains interact with one another in a decentralized network.

5) Coinbase (Under Construction)

• Path: /coinbase
• This feature is under construction but will implement the creation of a coinbase transaction in the future.
  • Implement coinbase transaction creation.

6) Public and Private Key Operations

a) Public-Private Keys

• Path: /public-private-keys/keys/
• Allows the generation and management of public and private keys for cryptographic operations.

b) Digital Signature

• Path: /public-private-keys/signature/
• Allows users to sign data with their private key and verify signatures with the corresponding public key.

c) Transactions

• Path: /public-private-keys/transactions/
• Facilitates creating, signing, and sending transactions within the blockchain network using public and private keys.
  • Implement transaction creation and validation.

d) Blockchain with Public Keys

• Path: /public-private-keys/blockchain/
• Displays the blockchain and integrates public-private key functionalities for enhanced security and transaction validation.
  • Integrate public-private key security into blockchain display.
