The City of Dublin is planning to introduce a new system that will use blockchain technology in place of its traditional information database system, giving residents new capabilities and ways to achieve privacy unlike ever before.
The use of blockchains is most commonly understood in the use of cryptocurrency and specifically in Bitcoin, where a permanent, digital recording of transactions are simultaneously created, recorded, verified, and updated by thousands of individuals.
The City of Dublin’s digital identity program — created by Software Verde, a Columbus-based web and mobile application solution development company — will have a similar process, however, instead of financial transactions, anonymous resident data written by the city can be read from and verified by other entities. And to further the security of the private blockchain, the records are published to a public blockchain that Dublin does not have control of.
