Every transaction on a blockchain is secured with a digital signature that proves its authenticity and due to the use of encryption and digital signatures, the data stored on the blockchain is tamper-proof and change-proof. The objective of this review is to obtain information on the blockchain, establishing a definition, origin, operation, existing types according to the structure and some of the current applications in various areas.
