Description
Current messaging infrastructures, which are based on centralized architectures, are expensive, inefficient and vulnerable to cyber-attack. The overhead costs of building and maintaining these systems are huge. Decentralized ledger architecture based on blockchain technology presents a new platform for developing secure and efficient messaging software. The Army has identified the need for a scalable, secure and reliable private blockchain that operates correctly in low-bandwidth and disconnected-network environments. To address this need, Architecture Technology Corporation (ATCorp) proposes: Scalable and Reliable Blockchain for low bandwidth and disconnected networks (SR-Blockchain). SR-Blockchain will utilize innovative techniques that will enable it to support tactical-edge networks that detach from the backbone network for undetermined periods.
