Microsoft and Accenture Develop Blockchain ID System for Refugees | Latest News

A digital prototype of Accenture and Microsoft using the blockchain human use technology project to develop a legal ID of more than 1.1 million worldwide, including 7 million refugees, including 2020.

The prototype - has second announced this week that ID2020, a 2030 UN Unified Sustainable Development goal is to provide a legal ID for everyone at the top of public-private consortia - a biometric emission fingerprint or retina blockchain, a record-keeping technology that encourages cryptocurrencies to create their own legality as a new individual.

When operating, the device refugee gave you an opportunity to present your DNI in order to prove refugee and support in order to prove the ID in the phone's cross border transitions.

The application will also provide the transferor when necessary to share the information, such as education and healthcare, to provide basic services.

"Approximately six of the world's population are part of the lack of basic cultural, political, economic, social and life information: documentary evidence is a reality," Accenture said in a statement.

"The importance of achieving a broad range of services, education, health, voting, mobile banking, communications, housing, and family and nursery benefits."

The prototype does not have the central system known to store personal information; These commercial structures and public information of this entity continue to work alongside "off the chain".

The taps chain's systems provide prototype data that can not be given, allaying concerns about the government's cruel refugees often fleeing watching.

"Our prototype is personal, private and portable, allowing individuals to access and share the appropriate information when appropriate, and without worrying about using or losing paper documentation," said David Treat, managing director of the notes Accenture of the global blog.

The system is designed so that the person who owns the identity is the only one who can access it; Personal identification information can not be stored or transmitted by third parties.

The prototype was built at the top of Accenture's unique Identity Services Platform, which improves the biometric identity management system used by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and is executed at the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform.

Accenture and Microsoft, formed by more than two dozen entities that formed an alliance to use the Code of Ethereum Blockchain in February this year, also collaborated on the prototype with the administrative service provider Get ahead and Look for other companies to join your company Project.

The ID2020 last year, Microsoft unveiled, and ConsenSys Blockstack Labs to the identification system based on the Blockchain that will allow "people, products, applications and services interact with each blockchains, cloud providers and organizations" worldwide. The system was built to cope with the human rights crimes focus on the lack of legal recognition, such as trafficking, prostitution and child abuse.

It is also intended to play a role Blockchain to address the security dilemma of technological proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT); For example, the Australian telecommunications company Telstra revealed that he was experimenting with a combination lock and biometric security for smart IoT smart home, the principal said security expert at Telco Blockchain safety devices makes use IoT much more efficient and effective organizations cost.
