The\u00a0division created after the 9\/11 terrorist attacks,\u00a0US department Homeland Security<\/strong> (DHS) uses\u00a0blockchain technology\u00a0<\/strong>to solve security issues.<\/p>\n

First announced in a press release published in December, the DHS announced in June that it awarded a prize of $199,000 to the blockchain startup Factom<\/strong><\/a> that aims at using the distributed ledger to ensure the security of cameras that monitor US borders.<\/p>\n

How US Homeland Security uses Blockchain<\/h2>\n

This way the blockchain could be helpful for DHS as it aims at building an identity for devices<\/strong>, or a way to extend the company’s ability to monitoring services and devices.<\/p>\n

Data privacy program manager Anil John<\/strong> explained to Coindesk<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

“The Factom piece is more along the line of these devices exist, but how do we build a picture of the identity of this device over time? The blockchain could be the catalyst that allow us to document the changes”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, he explained that the company wants to learn more about the potential applications of the blockchain.<\/p>\n

“For DHS use cases, the projects we\u2019re funding are focused on proving or disproving that security and privacy can be supported by a blockchain-based infrastructure. It is much broader than IoT and identity.”<\/em><\/p>\n

To do so, DHS gave funding also to projects such as Solarity Solutions, Respect Network and Digital Bazaar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
