Decentralized e-Health Architecture for Boosting Healthcare Analytics

Feb 05, 2019

In this article, we present an overview of the problems associated with the analysis and security of medical data and offer a solution that will provide the basis for improving the quality of medical services. We propose the architecture of a decentralized health data ecosystem based on a blockchain that will allow us to operate with vast volumes of clinical data, while also protecting confidential medical data. An example of a blockchain solution based on Exonum framework for state-scale use in healthcare is discussed. The deployments of such systems will the benefit to medical data safety, extend the base of clinical data collections, and create an effective shared health infrastructure.

Exonum: Byzantine fault tolerant protocol for blockchains

Dec 27, 2018

The need for consensus in distributed systems is an active area of research. There are many mathematical models with known theoretical limitations, as well as many correct and fast protocols. This research paper posits that the competitive blockchain industry requires foremost that consensus algorithms be fast regarding processed transactions per second. The new blockchain-specific consensus algorithm named Exonum is proposed in the paper. Its theoretical properties are proved and performance tests are provided.

Blockchain-Based Supply Chain for Postage Stamps

Dec 13, 2018

In this report, Bitfury researchers, together with the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology and the Russian Post, introduce the idea of a blockchain-based supply chain for postage stamps. Counterfeit and unaccounted for postage stamps cost postal administrations a significant amount of money each year. The Exonum blockchain could provide a solution to this problem, enhancing market transparency and guaranteeing the invariability of stamps produced and used.

The Bitfury Group, the world’s leading full-service Blockchain technology company, and its world-class global development team detail in this white paper a new solution to help reveal relationships between bitcoin addresses that minimizes errors in data and ensures greater accuracy in linking bitcoin addresses for criminal investigations, while also showing bitcoin users ways to protect their privacy.

Converging Blockchain and Next-Generation Artificial Intelligence Technologies to Decentralize and Accelerate Biomedical Research and Healthcare

Nov 09, 2017

This research paper, written by researchers at Bitfury and Insilico Medicine Inc., focuses on how the combination of blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies can be used to create a decentralized personal health data ecosystem and marketplace.

On Blockchain Auditability

Nov 29, 2016

The Bitfury Group released a white paper today, titled “On Blockchain Auditability,” that explores the key properties of legitimate Blockchains, including auditability, accountability and non-repudiation. The white paper explores how Blockchain technology allows for these properties, including blockchain receipts, blockchain anchoring, and proof of work.

Shared Send Untangling in Bitcoin

Aug 24, 2016

This white paper focuses on the existing tangling techniques of “shared send” transactions and presents an approach to detect usage of mixing schemes. First, we demonstrate that a substantial part of shared send transactions could be untangled. Second, we propose a number of practically useful modifications to this challenge and we present the results of computational experiments on shared send untangling.
