Blockchain may prove to be the single biggest security control concept in the history of the internet, a bold statement, but given the worldwide attention that this single word has evoked and the fact that various organisations are considering or testing Blockchain control for their systems that require an absolute assurance of authenticity of the “ledger transaction” that traverses the public network then yes given the inherent insecurity of the internet not a blind theory.

It is well documented that Blockchain was first conceived as an adjunct to Bitcoin by the mysterious “Satoshi Nakamoto” in a whitepaper in 2008, and perhaps the lasting legacy of this person may be Blockchain rather than Bitcoin which as we all know has become a vehicle for human greed unfortunately.

I therefore include various links describing Blockchain, and will leave you to your own conclusions on what effect Blockchain will have on how we conduct secure communication in the future…..
