The analysis of a group of pioneering developments of public services shows that blockchain technology can reduce bureaucracy, increase the efficiency of administrative processes and increase the level of trust in public recordkeeping. Based on the state-ofart developments, blockchain has not yet demonstrated to be either transformative or even disruptive innovation for governments as it is sometimes portrayed. Ongoing projects bring incremental rather than fundamental changes to the operational capacities of governments. Nevertheless some of them propose clear value for citizens. diff --git a/_posts/government/2020-01-11-usa.md b/_posts/government/2020-01-11-usa.md index 959a46ab..eec0b781 100644 --- a/_posts/government/2020-01-11-usa.md +++ b/_posts/government/2020-01-11-usa.md @@ -1,9 +1,10 @@ --- date: 2020-01-11 -title: Decentralized Identity and US Government Bodies +title: In the United States Public Sector +description: The United States Department Homeland Security has been the source of a considerable amount of funding for effort to create next-gen decentralized id infrastructure. +excerpt: "The DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Silicon Valley Innovation Program (SVIP) is keeping pace with the innovation community to tackle the hardest problems faced by DHS and the Homeland Security Enterprise.
