The Swiss railways could implement blockchain technology in the near future, as the Swiss company Linum Labs has just completed a concept test for a blockchain-based identity management system in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Railways FFS.
Linum Labs is an encrypted company based in Switzerland specialized in the construction of decentralized systems.
According to a blog post published by the company last Monday, the new "self-sovereign" system uses uPort: an Ethereum-based identity management supported by ConSenys.
While the Swiss government imposed record keeping requirements and security regulations to minimize unfair practices on the tracks, the company described current procedures as "fairly complex", often treating multiple companies with multiple certifications working on thousands of construction sites. throughout Switzerland ".
With so many identities to be recorded simultaneously, Linum Labs says that a decentralized system "would allow a simple interoperability between all the different actors".
The new identification management system will link the unique IDs of workers and railway authorities to separate the IDs of integrated uPorts on the blockchain, so as to keep track of workers' activities while they check-in and check-out .
In a press release shared by Coin Telegraph, the system aims to provide an "agile work environment with a blockchain-based digital audit-proof solution", which the company's status will help to make more efficient processes based on paper.
Switzerland is not the first country to apply blockchain technology to public transport. In May, Malta's transport minister, Ian Borg, announced a partnership with Omnitude, a UK-based blockchain start-up, to improve its public transport services.
