A report published by the Scottish government has provided details on how to use the blockchain in public services.
The Scottish government has published a report highlighting the benefits of blockchain or distributed ledger (DLP) technology in public services
In a report, the official public sector website UKAuthority, entitled "Distributed Ledger Technologies in Public Services ", the government described blockchain as a" natively digital "service creation opportunity and also presented several suggestions to exploit the possibilities.
Compiled by research conducted by blockchain development specialist Wallet Services for the Scottish government's digital directorate, he says the country should "join the international ecosystem" of the DLT, develop a national vision and launch small-scale projects of the public sector.
The report recommends more stu muore if blockchain is able to support or undermine compliance with the last general regulation on data protection. He noted that DLT makes it unclear who the data processor is when used for citizen data; however, there are blockchain applications that accredit technology with 'privacy by design'. as it allows the data subject to retain control over who has access to information
Five recommendations
As a result, the report presented five general recommendations, such as allowing a group of experts from the Scottish community of the DLT to establish a direction on how technology could be used to improve the national economy.
It also suggests implementing a measure that incorporates the applicable knowledge and skills of the plant around "fundamental disruptive technologies" in the public sector, as well as collaborating with other economies and collaborating on how to best use the blockchain.
"It also requires that the Scottish Government intends to promote the use of technology through channels such as the CivTech program, the CodeClan digital skills academy and the new AI and the blockchain accelerator of the & # 39; University of Edinburgh ", said UK Authority.
Finally, the report recommended the creation of a group of public sector leaders to determine how the blockchain could be used to solve common problems. This group should have a budget to finance activities and conceptual knowledge and present examples of how the international community is adopting the DLT.
Meanwhile, Big Innovation Center analysis firms, DAG Global and Deep Knowledge published a separate month report, suggesting that the UK is ready to become a global hub for blockchain and cryptocurrency in the coming years.
The United Kingdom has all the resources necessary to achieve this goal.
