Blockchain is a decentralized system of computers that enables the transfer and storage of information in a secure and fast way. It removes the need for the middle-man by mathematically and cryptographically guaranteeing that an event happened. Events recorded and secured on a decentralized ledger, such as a transfer of money, a vote, or shipment of produce, cannot be hacked, guaranteeing trust for all on the network.
The uses for blockchain are wide-ranging. CNM already offers blockchain-verified diplomas so students can easily access and share their college credentials as they move through their education and careers.
In supply chain management, as products change hands from manufacture to sale, blockchain can be used to document the transitions in a permanent decentralized record — reducing time delays, added costs, and human errors. In real estate, blockchain applications can help record, track, and transfer land titles, property deeds, liens, and more, while ensuring all documents are accurate and verifiable. In health care, blockchain can allow hospitals, payers, and other parties in the healthcare chain to share access to their networks without compromising data security and integrity.
