Company Data in the Blockchain: A Juxtaposition of Technological Drivers and Potential Applications
(2018)
In the presented paper, the technical possibilities of Blockchains are analyzed and classified according to their suitability to address specific challenges. This makes it possible to identify those technological drivers that are particularly promising for applicability in a corporate context. This includes, for example, tamper-resistance and security from forgery, which can be achieved without intermediaries with the help of data encryption methods using hash functions. Another technological capability of Blockchains is to provide a high degree of data security, which can be realized using public-key cryptography.
The technological drivers will be juxtaposed with data as typically generated in manufacturing companies (orders and order confirmations, production data, quality-related data, etc.). Subsequently, the prerequisites that these data must meet with regard to storage capacity and transferability will be identified. By linking the results to the identified technological drivers and functions it becomes possible to determine what types of company data have the potential to be successfully stored and managed in a Blockchain.
Blockchain ist eines der großen Trendwörter der Digitalindustrie. Die damit verbundene Technologie sorgt bereits seit geraumer Zeit für Gesprächsstoff und ist wohl eine der in den vergangenen Jahren am meisten diskutierte digitale Innovation. Außerhalb der Fachkreise von Informatikern, Mathematikern oder Ökonomen ist der Begriff für viele eng mit der Kryptowährung Bitcoin verknüpft. Dabei ist das weltweit verwendbare, dezentrale und digitale Zahlungssystem nur ein Anwendungsfeld für die Blockchain.
