Begin your journey into Bitcoin security with Track 1: Bitcoin Security Foundations, the first course in the Bitcoin+ Security™ Specialization. Designed for developers and blockchain professionals, this course introduces the principles that keep the Bitcoin network trusted, resilient, and tamper-proof.

You’ll explore how blockchain consensus, mining, and node validation work together to secure transactions, and uncover the cryptographic mechanisms—hashing, keys, and digital signatures—that safeguard assets and data integrity. Through guided labs, interactive quizzes, and real-world exercises using Bitcoin Core, Python, and open blockchain frameworks, you’ll see security in action, not just theory. By the end of this track, you’ll understand how vulnerabilities emerge, how the Bitcoin protocol mitigates them, and why its decentralized architecture remains the gold standard for digital trust. Completing this foundation prepares you to advance to the next track—Network & Wallet Security—on your way to earning the full Bitcoin+ Security™ Certification.

Beginners and professionals looking to understand how Bitcoin’s blockchain stays secure — ideal for developers, cybersecurity, and IT professionals.

No. This track starts from the basics of Bitcoin and blockchain before introducing core security concepts.

You’ll gain a solid grasp of how Bitcoin’s security model works — from protecting the blockchain ledger to maintaining consensus and defending against network-level attacks.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
