Blockchain is a widely used security solution for data exchanges. It works by adding code generated by each transaction to a chain, keeping a digital ledger of a file’s movements and leading back to a single source of truth. The issue with blockchain is there are several different systems that don’t necessarily communicate with each other. A CTMA project has been exploring the use of blockchain for data interoperability.
- The team created a prototype framework named Iron SPIDR (Secure, Peer-to-Peer, Immutable Data Resilience) to test scenarios for different use cases and datasets provided by the Air Force team members.
- The team demonstrated Iron SPIDR could securely exchange data between two blockchains to create a “chain of chains” that preserves each blockchain’s integrity.
- This project shows that data exchanges using this technology will allow mission-critical information to remain secure and uncorrupted and help commercial entities establish enhanced secure and transparent workflows.
