Blokcom

Send data, share information, transfer any digital asset on the network quickly, efficiently and securely.

Blokcom is a messaging platform that overcomes limitations related to identity control, eliminates intermediaries and third parties and allows any party involved to send and share value with other elements on the network, ensuring speed, authenticity and verifiability.

SCENARIO

Imagine a production chain consisting of several machines that need to work together to create the finished product. In this scenario, there are no standard protocols and it is not possible to involve third parties in the production process, because a production chain is by definition “closed” within its production cycle.

Or, consider a distributed ecosystem made up of objects, sensors, machines able to work together, which monitor an environment, produce value, and respond to changes. In this scenario a shared platform, a certified data-exchange system, or a platform that ensures authentication by-design do not exist.

What are the limitations of these scenarios?

  • Closed and centralised systems
  • Necessary control on the part of the user
  • Automation dependent on vendors
  • Lack of access and identity certification

Impact on the scenarios:

  • Autonomous production chains, connected to other productive chains in order to create a distributed, independent and certified production line
  • Maximum interoperability for producing value in the shortest possible time and in a completely secure manner
  • Objects connected as part of a network (public or private) that exchange data in a reliable and secure manner

BLOCKCHAIN AS A SOLUTION

Blockchain is a revolutionary technology which Blokcom builds high value added services:

  • Rapid exchange of data and certification between heterogeneous parties
  • Automatic verification of the identity of participants connected to the network
  • Integrity and authenticity of data exchanged

FOCUS ON

Through a secure and trackable messaging platform, it is possible to transform any untrusted environment into a trusted one.

Blokcom provides a platform in which: Each connected element is authenticated and certified; All data exchanged is verified and guaranteed against mutability and falsification; Every interaction is traced and verified, automatically and without the need for user confirmation.

With Blokcom it is possible to extend a private network, linking it to other networks (i.e. a Smart Home service provider, a technical support specialist, etc.) while ensuring the security of the actual identity of the parties involved and the traceability of the data exchanged.

Moreover, Blokcom disassociates from the concept of cryptocurrencies and allows any digital asset to be represented as the item being exchanged.


The current scenario - Critical aspects

Let us consider a Smart Home as an example: elements, objects and appliances connected to a home network. There is an absence of a unique protocol, and remote control is always necessary on the part of the user, who verifies and certifies the actions to be taken.

Moreover, in order to ensure maximum security, the user must always confirm changes in state, changes to the environment, the execution of specific operations (e.g. raising the temperature, turning on an appliance, etc.).

The use cases developed

A Smart Home with a Blockchain capable of handling messages as transactions, authenticating participants, verifying the integrity of messages and ensuring security and reliability, even when exposed to the outside world. The Blokcom Smart Home can:

  1. Verify the status of the parties connected to the network
  2. Perform operations remotely, by modifying the status of the parties connected to the network
  3. Provide each party with the necessary autonomy required to take actions and decisions based on the status of the entire network
  4. Ensure the traceability and reliability of messages exchanged
  5. Give parties outside the network the opportunity to interact securely with appliances (for example: Remote technical operations; Telemetry and bidirectional control on the part of vendors; Alerts and status notifications - expiration dates, servicing, life cycle)

The solution architecture

The current solution was developed using the Multichain platform (www.multichain.com) as the core implementation of the blockchain algorithm, adding the necessary features to the platform. In particular, the advantages of using the Multichain platform are attributable to:

  • Dynamic management of permissions (network access, sending and receiving messages, mining of blocks, etc.)
  • Ease of use and speed of deployment: the possibility of creating multiple specific chains for defining multiple networks of interaction between the different parties
  • Custom asset creation: every digital data unit is potentially representable in a multichain, not just currency or cryptocurrencies

The actual architecture provides for:

  • A logical and persistent layer that interfaces directly with the underlying multichain through JSON-RPC calls
  • A Backend that interacts with the underlying layer and makes it available to the REST API for the send and receive mechanisms
  • A JS Frontend that represents the network players that use the messaging system to exchange data and information

Property: a Blockchain accelerator manages the change of property ownership, in other words the transfer of ownership of any digital or physical asset (e.g. vehicles, equity, houses, etc.). Through the registration of a transaction in the Blockchain register, the identity of the seller and the buyer, the unique identifier of the asset and the time stamp associated with the transaction are guaranteed and cannot be modified.​​

Voting: in contexts that require a high level of transparency and security, such as voting in public ballots (e.g. to express a preference in a survey), the Blockchain technology relies on crypto currencies to guarantee both the legal certainty of the vote and the transparency of the process.

Ticketing: ticketing and couponing systems are highly complex. Furthermore, the risk of distributing counterfeit tickets is a major problem even for the more advanced and modern systems. Through the use of a web platform that exploits the specific features of Blockchain technology, it’s possible to create a secure and interoperable couponing/ticketing solution that still ensures the best possible end user experience.

SDN Security: the rise of Software-Defined Networks means that there are new ways for hackers to enter a network or system. Securechain is the solution that introduces security gateway into SDN, whilst creating a forensically auditable and unchangeable log of events. Securechain is built on the Ethereum Blockchain.

Secure Authentication: Authentichain is a new authentication system developed using Blockchain Technology. With Authentichain, it is possible to manage a private network of smart devices that are mutually authenticated and verified. It is also possible to easily extend the network and connect it to other networks (e.g. service providers, specialised technical support, etc.) while guaranteeing the actual identity of the parties involved and the traceability of access.

Insurechain

Insurances: over the years, complexity and costs related to the management of insurance processes have undermined the profitability of companies and inhibited the distribution of innovative insurance products. A platform was developed which, by integrating with the Ethereum Blockchain, facilitates the setting and enforcement of smart contracts for travel insurance. Insurechain is a solution that facilitates the automation of premium calculations, the management of appraisals and the settlement of certain types of claims, ensuring end-user transparency.
