US space agency NASA is planning to increase its technology by adding to the media reported. Blockbuster platform called "Hyperledger Fabric" that is specifically designed for enterprise transactions that resemble typical air traffic management interactions, Ronald J. Reisman, an aero-computer engineer at the NASA Ames Research Center, said in a statement.

Blockchain would address the potential issues of privacy, prevent spoofing, denial of service and other attacks, Reisman said. He asserted that Blockchain presents an engineering prototype that embodies a design and method that can be applied to mitigate security issues. "The design innovation is the use of an open source permissioned to provide a secure and efficient method for communication with air traffic services, operations support, or other authorized entities," he noted.

The new framework also features certificate authority, smart contract support, and higher-bandwidth communication for private information. The prototype demonstrates how this method can be economically and rapidly deployed in a scalable modular environment, Reisman said.
