We continue the Fourth in the Eight-episode series with Tim Montgomery and Dr. Gorog. In this episode, we look at some driving forces for the next-generation research into distributed trust. Around 2016, Dr. Gorog, working with the State of Colorado, started the first work into trust for digital records for citizens’ data held by the state. At the time technology for distributed ledgers was thought promising but was not economical. Prototypes for state programs found that one year’s cloud storage data costs ten times more than the state budgeted. So many people have envisioned blockchain and distributed ledger to solve societal problems, but the truth is that they did not work because they were cost-inhibiting. Large-scale adoption of businesses has found similar technology limitations. Join today to hear more about how the state of Colorado sponsorship has supported and funded exciting work using many Cybersecurity institutions and Universities in Colorado as a test bed. Teams of students, companies, international organizations, and industry professionals worked together to solve some of these challenging problems. Dr. Gorog discusses some of these campaigns, such as Privacy for the People and IEEE Digital Privacy Initiative. Tune into this episode of New Cyber Frontier.
