Industry interest in maintaining data privacy

According to previous reports, Overstock's venture capital subsidiary Medici Ventures invested $2 million in a startup to further create a decentralized ecosystem, including digital certificates and blockchain-based autonomous networks.

Recently, Verizon, a leading communications and technology company, patented a virtual subscriber identity module (vSIMs) for customers' devices. According to the submitted documents, the company's blockchain encryption technology ensures greater security and can only install one vSIM on a single device at a time.

Experts' views on blockchain in terms of data protection

In a special analysis article written for the media Cointelegraph, Oleksii Konashevych wrote that in certain activities at the federal level, digital IDs are necessary: ​​registering companies, filing taxes, voting, etc. At these times, the ID must be verified with an acceptable level of certainty, which will be provided by the blockchain and the infrastructure of the trusted service provider.

When it comes to personal data protection, Timothy Paolini, a member of the New York University blockchain board, told Cointelegraph:

“The blockchain is built around the decentralization principle, which eliminates the risk of a single point of failure (think Equifax servers) and eliminates unnecessary third parties by building a more direct peer-to-peer network. This also preserves your privacy. And control the data from third-party applications because the data is in the protocol and not the application layer."
