A LAYERED ARCHITECTURAL APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING DISTRIBUTED CRYPTOGRAPHIC LEDGERS
Issues in Information Systems · 2016
Government officials and industry experts increasingly highlight today's data privacy and security vulnerabilities require new approaches to mitigate risk.Additional methods and techniques to address current vulnerabilities are needed especially between responsible parties within a large ecosystem like finance, healthcare, and education.New approaches leveraging cryptographic ledgers and blockchains are emerging as a potential solution.This paper proposes a layered architectural approach for cryptographic ledgers to aid in security and privacy controls of digital solutions.
