Partners Q. Scott Kaye and John Isaza will be presenting on the topic “New Kids on the Blockchain: RIM Blockchain Applications Today and Tomorrow”.
In this presentation, the audience will explore the basics of blockchain technology, coupled with the specific implications for records and information governance professions. Specifically, the presentation will cover:
- A primer on blockchain technology, including how and whether blockchain is a reliable way of confirming that the party submitting a record to the blockchain, the time and date of its submission, and the contents of the record at the time of submission actually result in a valid transaction;
- How a blockchain is basically an electronic ledger (register) of digital records, events, or transactions akin to a financial ledger except authenticated and maintained through a “distributed” or “shared” network of participants using a group consensus protocol (multiple users);
- How blockchain is already in use in the private sector through virtual currency known as Bitcoin;
- The costs and challenges associated with the use of blockchain technology for recordkeeping purposes.
