Could you elaborate on the structure and components of a typical Bitcoin transaction? I'm curious to understand the underlying mechanics behind a Bitcoin transfer. Specifically, what are the key elements that constitute a transaction? How is the sender's address linked to the receiver's? What is the role of the blockchain in validating and securing these transactions? And lastly, what are the security measures employed to ensure the authenticity and integrity of Bitcoin transactions? I'd appreciate a concise yet comprehensive explanation that captures the essence of a Bitcoin transaction.
