The OSI Model – The 7 Layers of Networking Explained in Plain English

In blockchain we trust

Given blockchain’s starring role in the Bitcoin hype cycle,
there may be some lingering confusion about what this technology is and the value it can potentially bring to business.
Simply put, blockchain is a distributed ledger that provides a way for information to be recorded and shared by a community.

In the trust economy, the individual—not a third party—will determine what digital information is recorded in a blockchain, and how that information will be used. With an eye toward curating a single, versatile digital representation of themselves that can be managed and shared across organizational boundaries, users may record:

Digitized renderings of traditional identity documents such as driver’s licenses, passports, birth certificates, Social Security/Medicare cards, voter registration, and voting records
Ownership documents and transactional records for property, vehicles, and other assets of any form
Financial documents including investments, insurance policies, bank accounts, credit histories, tax filings, and income statements
Access management codes that provide any identity-restricted location, from website single sign-on to physical buildings, smart vehicles, and ticketed locations such as event venues or airplanes
A comprehensive view of medical history that includes medical and pharmaceutical records, physician notes, fitness regimens, and medical device usage data
As a repository of valuable data, blockchain can provide individual users with unprecedented control over their digital identities.

Exchange digital assets without friction: Using blockchain, parties can exchange ownership of digital assets in real time and, notably, without banks, stock exchanges, or payment processors—
all applications requiring trusted digital reputations.
Many of blockchain’s earliest use cases for business involved facilitating cross-border payments and intracompany transfers.
