NFT overview

What is NFT? “Non-fungible” more or less means that it’s unique and can’t be replaced with something else.

 NFT's can both be digital and physical assets and whose ownership can be tracked. Digital files can owned same as financial assets. For example all forms of digital media like JPG, audio and video files.

 The creator can upload them to blockchain and the ownership of the assets can be tracked. 


 Fungible vs non-fungible Fungible tokens are completely interchangeable with each other. The most notable example of fungible assets refers to fiat currencies. NFTs are not divisible and have their value as a whole entity and are not interchangeable as each of them represents unique assets.(Example Piece of art, collectibles etc.,). In other words you can own piece of a digital media file.  

Use cases of NFT's   NFT can be used for Blog posts, news letters, audio files, KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures, for academic degrees and other educational certificates, collectibles, badges, voting & elections, loyalty programs, in-game items, copyright, supply chain tracking, medical data, software licenses, warranties and more. 

  • A discord server may or a news letter can accept/ask its users to pay in these NFT's. 
  • Fans can bid for favorite part of their TV show episode or winning moment of world cup. 
  • Bid for a celebrity tweet or fb post.

Re-sale of NFT's too can be done digitally and original owner get's a little share as long as trade continues. Say a album from an artist, artist keeps receiving a little share for a long.

The creator/company sign the asset with public cryptographic keys and it's identity is available to publicly.

 How do NFTs work? A company initially mints the NFT and put it for listing and let users bid on that asset or a piece of art or set a price for it. 

For people it's a social element of owning an Art or asset and display in on their social media accounts or put as DP.

A lot of NFTs work based on the Ethereum blockchain. It is worth noting that other blockchains can implement their own versions of NFTs. 

Exchange    NFT's can be swapped like crypto tokens.

What are the best colleges to study masters in Cyber Security in Europe? This question is often asked by many CS enthusiasts in many fb groups, study portals, Quora etc.., I myself failed to find answers by mere searching in internet. Most articles blog posts available till date highlight only colleges from USA or UK.

I am going to give the list of colleges straight away. This may not be the whole list of colleges but covers most of them. I am here listing only colleges that offer courses focused entirely on Cyber Security taught in English language and have global reputation.

Technical University of Denmark
IT university of Copenhagen

Estonia

Tallin University

Aalto University

France

Apart from these top universities there are few programs that are offered by a consortium of top universities. Students will be awarded degree from more than one university for these programs. He/She may also be able to study in more than university based on his interests. Seems to be a very good perspective for students.

ERASMUS MUNDUS
Eit digital school

As most of you may be aware EU students can study anywhere in these countries with subsidized price but it may vary for International students. Public universities in Germany won't charge any additional prices to International students, rather its better to say its free of cost. Anyhow students are expected to show some proof of finances to get German study visa. There are some other nations and universities that charge nominal fee to International students as well. Cost of education is less in above mentioned universities when compared to the cost of masters education in USA/UK or Australia. I would rather leave about expenditures as it is easy to find by going through college website.

Admission to students depends on multiple factors like UG marks, reputation of college in which you studied, SOP, Letter of Recommendations, programming skills. Most of these top universities expect students to have Math and Programming skills and have sufficient credits in their UG for those subjects. Proof of English language certificate is mandatory for most courses along with your educational official transcripts from your UG college/university.
Students are permitted to work for 20 hours in most of these countries to earn for their living.

My intention is to give the list of colleges so as to help the students to save lot of time searching in internet.

Do you agree with my views? What are the other colleges you recommend?

Feel free to share this with your friends who are looking for admission into colleges in Cyber Security in Europe.

Please let me know your suggestions to make this post appealing to students.
