Hyperledger In-depth with GSBN: Next Generation Blockchain Consortium

January 18 10:00 AM-11:00 AM EAST

Combining Enterprise Blockchain with Confidential Computing.

Description: The next generation of blockchain consortiums will combine blockchain technology with other emerging technologies such as confidential computing. According to the white paper by Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC) in Oct 2021, Confidential computing can be used to secure data being written or processed on a blockchain network to add an additional element of privacy to the system.

Register now to hear about two exciting open source initiatives under the Linux Foundation, Hyperledger Foundation and the CCC, – the journey from white paper to real use cases by the next generation blockchain consortium, with member Global Shipping Business Network (GSBN).

Speakers
Daniela Barbosa, General Manager, Blockchain and Identity and Hyperledger Executive Director
Hart Montgomery, CTO, Hyperledger
Dan Middleton, Principal Engineer, Confidential Computing, Intel
Edmund To, CTO, GSBN

About GSBN
GSBN is a trade data utility platform powered by blockchain that enables supply chain participants to work collaboratively to accelerate the digital transformation of the industry.

GSBN is built on a permissioned blockchain with strong data governance where only authorized parties are granted the right to contribute and consume shipping related data. By leveraging immutability of the blockchain and data field level privacy through cryptography, participants in the supply chain such as Terminals, Carriers, Shippers, Freight Forwarders, Truckers, Customs and Financial Institutions, can collaboratively design and enable industry wide, end to end, solutions.
The consortium was first founded by 8 global leaders in the global shipping industry accounting for one in every three containers handled in the world. Members include COSCO SHIPPING Lines, COSCO SHIPPING Ports, Hapag-Lloyd, Hutchison Ports, OOCL, SPG Qingdao Port, PSA International, and Shanghai International Port Group.
GSBN was established on a not for profit basis to ensure neutrality of the platform.
