Abstract
The Blockchain [1] is the new buzzword in the world of technologies. All sectors have started to focus on concrete use cases, but only few actors can claim of having devised revolutionary solutions. For many reasons : Blockchain technology has been around for a while and remains very complex to understand. The Blockchain is the partie of technologies to monitor in the years to future. It could revolutionize many sectors of the economy, starting with banking and insurance. This document will presents in detail the following points: what is Blockchain and how it starts ? Blockchain security challenges and threats ? and to finish how we can secure this technology ?
