Description:
The days of blockchain tourism are numbered. Enterprises are transitioning from proof of concept to blockchain production systems. With that comes the need to address operational and security concerns. Many organizations are struggling to deal with blockchain’s inherent transparency which makes it surprisingly ill-equipped to protect sensitive and personally identifiable information.

How do enterprises move from the mindset of protecting data in traditional systems built with centralized data silos to protecting data distributed across the network in blockchain nodes, especially when participating in supply chain or industry consortiums?

We will explore:
The unique one-time opportunity blockchain provides for implementing proper data privacy
Review approaches to concerns raised by blockchain’s transparency
Explore compliance landmines of storing sensitive data on chain
Reveal the pitfalls of centralized encryption key management in a decentralized world
Describe how to implement a decentralized data encryption system
