Abstract:

Blockchain technology, while only a few years old, has captured the imagination of businesses and governments around the world. It provides an authenticated, highly tamper resistant messaging system that is robust to attack and maintains a history of every single transaction that has taken place. In the government sector, the Department of Defense is examining the use of blockchain technology in managing electronic medical records, supply chain logistics, financial transactions, and resilient communications.
