The US department of Homeland Security<\/b> (DHS) – the division created after the 9\/11 terrorist attacks – talks about the possibility to use the blockchain technology<\/b>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\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<\/a><\/b> that aims at using the distributed ledger to ensure the security of cameras that monitor US borders.<\/div>\n

How US DHS wants to use the Blockchain<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
This way the blockchain could be helpful for DHS as it aims at building an identity for devices, or a way to extend the company’s ability to monitoring services and devices.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Data privacy program manager Anil John <\/b>explained to Coindesk<\/a>:<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\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”. <\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Also, he explained that the company wants to learn more about the potential applications of the blockchain. <\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\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.”<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To do so, DHS gave funding also to projects such as Solarity Solutions, Respect Network and Digital Bazaar.<\/b><\/div>\n
