Title: [2018-12-11] US DoD Giving 2 Day Blockchain Workshop. Post by: GS-DFN on December 11, 2018, 08:58:47 PM The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), part of the US DoD has penciled in a 2 day Workshop for February next year (2019) to investigate and work on key uses of the technology.
The agency published a five-page RFI (Request for Information), which referred to the “particular interest” areas, which specifically spell out the “consensus protocols discussed.” The workshop is targeted at 3 main topics: 1. To push distributed consensus protocols but refrain from using something that has monetary value. Instead, they will offer “various aspects of participation in the protocol” as the proposed assignment. 2. Security models driven by the economy for distributed computing protocols. 3. The “centralities of distributed consensus protocols.” There is a lot of talk about cybersecurity. The entity states that the responses applicable to this topic include “novel analyzes, strategies to analyze and address the centralization of a divided consensus protocol.” Source: Digital Finance News : https://digitalfinancenews.com/index.php/2018/12/11/u-s-department-of-defense-to-give-2-day-blockchain-workshop/ |
