Distributed ledger technology (blockchain).: NR16-258/2019E-PDF

"Distributed ledger technology (DLT) such as blockchain – the system underpinning bitcoin – is projected to move beyond cryptocurrency applications and radically impact many industries in the coming years. For governments, DLT could help to streamline healthcare delivery, combat voting fraud, improve the collection of taxes and generally ensure the integrity of records and services. For defence and security organizations, the technology promises to make supply chains more secure and efficient, protect sensitive data and enable more effective identity management"--Page [1].
