PAChain: Private, Authenticated and Auditable Consortium Blockchain

Blockchain provides a distributed ledger recording a globally agreed, immutable transaction history, which may not be suitable for Fintech applications that process sensitive information. This paper aims to solve three important problems for practical blockchain applications: privacy, authentication and auditability.
