论文摘要
在过去的十年中，区块链技术的兴起引发了巨大的研究兴趣，编码工作和货币投资。以太坊是当今最大的可编程区块链平台。它具有加密货币交易，数字艺术和通过智能合约分散的财务。所谓的以太坊节点可以操作区块链，依靠多个组织维护的大量第三方软件依赖链。这些软件供应商对以太坊的可靠性和安全性有直接影响。在本文中，我们对Java Ethereum节点的软件供应链进行了分析，并提炼了维护和保护该区块链技术的挑战。
The rise of blockchain technologies has triggered tremendous research interest, coding efforts, and monetary investments in the last decade. Ethereum is the single largest programmable blockchain platform today. It features cryptocurrency trading, digital art, and decentralized finance through smart contracts. So-called Ethereum nodes operate the blockchain, relying on a vast supply chain of third-party software dependencies maintained by diverse organizations. These software suppliers have a direct impact on the reliability and the security of Ethereum. In this article, we perform an analysis of the software supply chain of Java Ethereum nodes and distill the challenges of maintaining and securing this blockchain technology.
