Application of blockchain technology in military
From the perspective of technology and architecture, I will tell you my understanding of blockchain in common language
what is blockchain? In a word, blockchain is a storage system. To be more specific, blockchain is a distributed storage system without an administrator and each node has all the data
What are the common storage systems like
as shown in the figure above, the bottom is data, and the top can write data. A space to store data, a software to manage data, provide an interface to write data, this is the storage system. For example, MySQL is the most common storage system
What are the problems of ordinary storage system? There are at least two common problems
the first is the problem of non high availability. There is a dangerous place for data. In technical terms, data is not highly available
The second problem is that there is only one write point. In technical terms, it is a single point of control
How do ordinary storage systems usually solve these two problems
in fact, MySQL can do a master-slave synchronization of al master, master-slave synchronization of al master, two nodes can be written at the same time. If you want to do a multi room multi live data center, in fact, multi room multi live data synchronization. What we should emphasize here is that multi-point writing often leads to the consistency problem of writing conflicts. Take MySQL as an example, suppose that the attribute of a table is self incrementing ID, then the data in the database is 1234 now. If one of the nodes writes and inserts a piece of data, it may become 5, and then these 5 pieces of data are synchronized to another master node, Before synchronization, if another write node inserts a piece of data, a piece of data with self incrementing ID of 5 will be generated. Then, after the generation, synchronize to another node, and the synchronized data will conflict with the two local 5's after it arrives, which will lead to synchronization failure and write consistency conflict. This problem will occur in the case of multi-point writing
how to ensure consistency in multi-point writing
the reform "Swan class" gives you more technical work
the application fields of blockchain include digital currency, token, finance, anti-counterfeiting traceability, privacy protection, supply chain, entertainment, etc. with the popularity of blockchain and bitcoin, many related top domain names have been registered, which has a great impact on the domain name instry
taking the tourism instry as an example, blockchain applications mainly focus on tourism travel, tourism community reviews, digital identity management, credit consumption management, tracking pilot's professional certificate and qualification, loyalty plan of hotels and airlines, reservation management and consumption points management. In addition, blockchain also has applications in finance, games, entertainment and other fields.
A: the main application fields of blockchain technology are finance, Internet of things and logistics, public service, digital right, insurance and public welfare
First, in the field of finance,
blockchain has great potential application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields
Second, the Internet of things and logisticsblockchain can also be naturally combined in the field of Internet of things and logistics. Through blockchain, we can rece logistics costs, trace the proction and delivery process of goods, and improve the efficiency of supply chain management
Third, in the field of public service, blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in the fields of public management, energy and transportation. However, the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain Fourthly, in the field of digital right, through blockchain technology, works can be authenticated to prove the existence of text, video, audio and other works and ensure the authenticity and uniqueness of ownership In the field of insurance, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claim settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs Sixth, the data stored on the public welfare fieldblockchain is highly reliable and tamperable, which is naturally suitable for social public welfare scenarios. The relevant information in the public welfare process, such as donation project, collection details, fund flow, recipient feedback, etc., can be stored on the blockchain, and can be made transparent and public, which is convenient for social supervision
- original title: market analysis of China's blockchain instry in 2019: enabling various instries to accelerate the application landing, there will be two opportunities for future applications
2019 - blockchain "mainstream application year"
since August 2018, the electronic invoice of blockchain was issued for the first time in Shenzhen. So far, it has issued more than 6 million electronic invoices, with an amount of 4 billion yuan, and has access to more than 5300 enterprises, Covering more than 110 detailed instries. In addition to the field of electronic invoice, blockchain has also been successfully implemented in many project scenarios, such as supply chain finance, legal deposit, cross-border payment, etc.
at the recent "thousands of people watching fire" conference of blockchain instry, the reporter of economic daily learned that in 2019, the technology implementation and application has brought blockchain into the "mainstream application year". On the one hand, many Internet giants have a solid technical foundation, on the other hand, they actively explore more valuable scenarios to find development opportunities in the enabling real economy
"blockchain technology can play the role of anchoring, sharing and increasing trust in the whole social information flow, making the chaotic information credible. Compared with the past, this is a" qualitative leap. " Zhang Kaixiang, chief architect of Weizhong bank's blockchain, said, "risk control and business rules design based on trusted data can improve efficiency, rece risks and rece operating costs." He pointed out that as a connector, it is not meaningful for a single enterprise to operate the blockchain, and it is more meaningful to share it as an open source solution to realize the ecological co construction of the instry
"we have been exploring and practicing open source, starting from the underlying technology platform and combining with the scenes of finance, instry, Internet of things, culture and entertainment, to jointly build an open, transparent and efficient technology and instrial community. Open source ecology helps to activate the creativity of the instry. We will continue to start from the open source community and improve a complete set of systems such as system construction and skills training, so as to benefit more people. "
in 2019, the market scale of China's blockchain instry will exceed 100 million yuan
China's blockchain instry is still in its infancy, but with the continuous support of national policies, the continuous progress of instry technology and the increasing demand of downstream application fields, China's blockchain instry is expected to continue to maintain high-speed growth. According to the statistical data of in depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of China's blockchain instry published by foresight Instry Research Institute, the market scale of China's blockchain instry was less than 6 million yuan in 2011, and the market scale of China's blockchain instry increased by 32 million yuan by 2017, By 2018, the market scale of China's blockchain instry has reached 67 million yuan, always maintaining a rapid growth rate of more than 80%. It is predicted that the market scale of China's blockchain instry will exceed 100 million yuan in 2019, and that in 2022, driven by policy support and downstream demand, the market scale of China's blockchain instry is expected to exceed 450 million yuan
market size statistics and growth forecast of China's blockchain instry from 2015 to 2022
data source: the audited enterprise asset confirmation, registration and circulation records, etc., sorted out by foresight Instry Research Institute, are stored on the platform in the form of traceability. Based on this, banks can carry out fast financing and loan business, save the cost of guarantee and other links, greatly improve the efficiency, and make the risk of financing and loan controllable as a whole
electronic data storage is an important application field of blockchain technology.
the provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues concerning the trial of cases by Internet courts, which came into effect in September 2018, clearly states that electronic data storage can be solved by blockchain and other technical means. Xiang Dan, vice president of bibox digital asset trading platform, said that electronic data deposit is an important application field of blockchain technology“ Blockchain technology has the characteristics of preventing tampering, leaving traces in the event, post audit and security protection, which is concive to improving the credibility and authenticity of electronic evidence. The combination of blockchain and electronic data storage can rece the cost of electronic data storage, improve judicial efficiency and enable judicial business. For example, the contract management based on blockchain has been applied in many Internet courts. "
according to Zhou Jianrui, co founder of coinword, a trusted content community, the application of electronic data storage based on blockchain can also help deepen the reform of "release management and service" and improve administrative efficiency. In Beijing Haidian District and other pilot areas, blockchain technology is playing the role of efficient data sharing, secure transmission and credit support. When applied in the field of government affairs, it can realize real-time data sharing of various departments and effectively assist window personnel and examination and approval personnel to quickly verify the authenticity of materials. For example, the public security, civil affairs, housing management and other departments "on the chain", in dealing with real estate transactions can be fast and accurate, "one key" verification of multi-party information, greatly saving social costs
there will be two opportunities for the application of blockchain
because the social recognition of blockchain is not high, the people who understand and use blockchain are still very limited, and the penetration of blockchain into the real economy still needs a graal process. " Yuan Yuming, CEO of fire coin China, introced that they used the open, transparent and tamper proof characteristics of blockchain to explore a new path of art traceability and anti-counterfeiting by means of high-precision full pixel scanning and archiving; By constructing the trust mechanism in the multi-party cooperation scenario, the integral information platform for multi-party participation and resource sharing is developed“ Next, there will be two opportunities for blockchain application:
one is training. With the entry of enterprise giants one after another and the continuous penetration of the real instry, more people will learn about blockchain through training, which will become a new market demand
the second is to provide consulting and technical solutions to more traditional enterprises to help them penetrate the blockchain into more traditional fields and promote the consumption rection, efficiency enhancement, transformation and upgrading of the real instry. "
The development of blockchain has been booming. What are the application areas of blockchain
at present, the most extensive and successful application of blockchain technology is digital currency represented by bitcoin. In recent years, digital currency has developed rapidly. Due to the characteristics of decentralized credit and frequent transactions, it has high transaction value and can maintain a relatively stable price by developing hedging financial derivatives as quasi super sovereign currency
intelligence work performance incentive. Blockchain has anonymity when recording transactions, and can be used for covert directional payment of incentive fund for intelligence work. As we all know, intelligence providers or "informants" need to keep their identity and whereabouts secret. Traditional payment methods such as transfer and cash are easy to be tracked or even locked. But through bitcoin as a payment intermediary, we can skillfully "break" the payment channel, making it difficult to trace the flow of intelligence funds, so as to effectively protect security. Bitcoin trading platform plays the role of "black box" in the whole payment process, in which the three key links of "purchase transaction exchange" can be completed anonymously, realizing the key information hiding of both parties
life cycle management of weapons and equipment. It is necessary to register and manage the important information in the whole life cycle of equipment from project demonstration, proction verification, delivery to service and retirement. The current recording method is usually paper or electronic media. This traditional method has some defects, such as difficult to guarantee safety, difficult to transfer and transfer, lack of effective supervision and so on. If the introction of blockchain technology allows the superior competent departments, equipment management departments, equipment users, and even equipment manufacturers to participate in the update and maintenance of equipment combat and technical status, forming a distributed and supervised file registration network, and all parties keep a complete file , the above problems can be effectively solved, and the security and reliability of files can be improved Convenience and credibility
military intelligent logistics. In order to realize the intelligence of modern military logistics, the intelligence of logistics department, warehouse, material and material demander is indispensable, which constitutes the small Internet of things. Blockchain technology can effectively solve the problems of network communication, data storage and system maintenance. The dynamic and autonomous networking of people and things in the system forms a decentralized peer-to-peer network without a central server. The distributed structure improves the viability of the system; The nodes accessing to the network can communicate with each other directly or by relay mode to realize the free interaction of information; The important data information in the logistics chain, such as user demand, storage goods, loading and transportation, distribution and transfer, are stored in each block; The maintenance of blockchain must be supervised by the nodes of the whole network. The illegal operation of indivial nodes will be rejected and resisted by most nodes, which ensures the orderly and efficient operation of the system (from science and technology daily)
of course, blockchain is more used in the financial field, such as digital currency crowdfunding of coin Ying China; China Post Bank's fund trusteeship and so on.
In recent years, the application of blockchain technology has been widely concerned. No matter in the financial field, enterprises or government departments are speeding up the research, development and application of blockchain technology. Some countries have also sniffed the potential of blockchain technology in war, and strive to expand the breadth and depth of blockchain technology in military applications
blockchain technology is the "bulletproof jacket" of military logistics. Due to the decentralized nature of blockchain technology, it has a strong information recovery ability after being attacked. Unless all computers in the system are damaged, it is meaningless to modify the information of a node, because the system can quickly recover the complete form. The current logistics system relies too much on the reliability of information service center, once the information service center fails, it will affect the normal operation of the whole logistics system. The military application has a very high requirement on the security and wartime anti damage ability of the system. The use of blockchain technology can effectively solve the core problems of information security, data storage and interactive processing faced by intelligent military logistics. The key point is to improve the viability of the logistics system, so as to ensure the orderly and efficient operation of the system
in essence, blockchain technology is a mutual trust storage device, which can be used for information transactions between multiple users. Its core is "distributed consensus" and "anonymity", which can verify transactions at any time without affecting the privacy of related parties. Therefore, blockchain technology is bound to become a new generation of disruptive technology, and its military applications will become more extensive and in-depth
