Since the birth of bitcoin seven years ago, the popularity and value of cryptocurrencies have gradually increased. Ethereum has evolved since then and was officially launched as a digital currency in 2015. This second-largest cryptocurrency in the world today has a market capitalization of 34 billion. We’ve compiled a list of eight intriguing and manageable ethereum dissertation topics. If you’re interested in writing a dissertation about ethereum, you may choose one of these choices.

Editingarsenal has compiled a list of some of the most popular and common dissertation topics from a variety of academic disciplines, so you can pick and choose what to write about.

Possible Topics

• The resistance of Ethereum to ASICs – a problem with the speed of light?
• Proofs of work were initially used to demonstrate that a sophisticated hashing technique had been finished. As the business grew, highly specialised hardware (application-specific integrated circuits, ASICs) became available, considerably increasing the entrance barrier for an inexperienced (as opposed to highly specialised) miner. Etherium’s inventors recognised this issue and developed a memory-intensive proof of work method that outperforms conventional ASIC design strategies. Memory delay is determined by the speed of light. This project will analyse the ramifications.
• Cryptographic assaults on the ethereum blockchain’s ethash technology.
• The bulk of cryptocurrencies are mined using a hashcash-based proof of work algorithm. While the more ordinary proofs of work are known to be secure (in terms of civilian mathematics), the more esoteric “custom” proofs of work lack similar guarantees. The etherium-specific ethash protocol is one such example. If cryptography’s history is any guide, any new algorithm should be regarded as questionable until its security is established. The purpose of this project is to do cryptanalysis on ethash in order to determine if there is a vulnerability or to demonstrate that the function is secure.
• Ethereum vs bitcoin: distributed denial-of-service (DoS) attacks
• Denial of service assaults are one of the most common and disruptive sorts of attacks in today’s Internet scene – DOS attacks are routinely perpetrated by a variety of agents, ranging from dissatisfied individuals to country states. A denial of service attack, in the context of cryptocurrencies, seeks to disrupt the blockchain’s propagation. In the case of bitcoin, the blockchain has held up fairly well against attempts to build a gigantic block (many attempts have been made). Although it is difficult to determine if this is an accident or planned, the problem impacts all cryptocurrencies. This particular project will evaluate the DOS resistance of etherium.
• Ethereum vs. bitcoin: the protocol is vulnerable to “51 percent attacks.”
• The term “51 percent attack” relates to the propagation policy of the bitcoin blockchain, in which an organisation with more than 50% of total hashing power effectively has a veto over which blocks are admitted into the blockchain. This 50% threshold has always been imprecise – because block discovery is a probabilistic process, having more than 50% hashing power does not ensure a veto. Similar problems apply to other cryptocurrencies, and this study will assess etherium, a cryptocurrency with a novel proof of work function that is supposed to be resistant to ASIC processing and hence to hashing power concentration.
• Ethereum vs. bitcoin: restrictions on block size.
• One of bitcoin’s most bothersome restrictions is block time: at ten minutes per block, the bitcoin network’s transaction rate falls far short of the rates required of major financial transaction systems such as VISA. On the other side, the block rate is fundamental to the bitcoin protocol and cannot be simply adjusted. Recent cryptocurrencies have addressed the issue by boosting the block rate, which is at best a cosmetic fix. Etherium, in particular, offers a greater block rate and a unique block generation algorithm. The purpose of this research is to analyse the implications and give recommendations for resolving this complex situation.
• Is stealing too easy? Ethereum vs bitcoin.
• Cryptocurrencies are well-known for their vulnerability to theft. Thus, a crucial design objective is the resistance of a particular cryptocurrency to being pilfered by opponents or (as many suspect) by its own employees. While Bitcoin is unparalleled in terms of volatility, other cryptocurrencies use tactics such as numerous signatures to ensure that a single malicious individual cannot transfer coins irreversibly. Ethereum has a history of spectacular heists, and this research will focus primarily on the cryptocurrency’s resistance against theft.
• Is ethereum only a clone of bitcoin?
• Ethereum is visually separate from bitcoin in that it employs a different proof of work function, a different signature algorithm, a different method of generating addresses, small rate adjustments, and evolutionary enhancements (or bug sources, to the cynical eye) to the overall logistics. In theory, one could even develop a script that generates new coins automatically by adjusting cosmetic settings and renaming the code generated automatically. How much of the cryptocurrency ecosystem is actually unique, and why would someone demand multiple currencies? These are the subjects that this study will investigate.
• Ethereum protocol economics cyber-attacks.
• It has never been judged impossible to crack a cypher; it has just been deemed impracticable. According to popular literature, brute force password guessing would take longer than the universe’s age. With the development of more powerful cryptanalysis tools, cracking a particular instance of a cypher may become no longer impossible, but merely expensive. A typical example is 768-bit RSA keys, which can now be factored for as little as a few hundred dollars worth of processing power. The economics of this process are unknown, and this research will investigate the economic incentives that exist inside the bitcoin community’s “black hat” wing.
