What You Can Use Blockchain For?

Issue and trade things of value—currency tokens, utility tokens, or e.g., outstanding invoices—in a secure, transparent, private, and self-reconciling “chain” of transactions Adds speed and flexibility to cash and asset management. For example, using verified invoices from enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications, companies could raise needed cash quickly or accelerate cash flow by selling invoices on an autonomous invoice-factoring marketplace.

Managing spending is a challenge in most organizations. Take a look at these statistics from Ardent Partners CPO Rising 2016: Less than half (45%) of spend is contract compliant Only 39% of addressable spend is actually sourced Only 63% of spend is linked to a purchase order Alternatively, enterprises could create a self-governed blockchain network for suppliers and partners. This could enable automated smart contracts, instant payments, and Internet of Things (IoT)-activated shipments. Without human interaction, errors and missing information are reduced across transactions, and transactions happen faster because buyers and sellers are directly connected.

Traditionally, industries rely on third parties to guard databases of their shared information using firewalls and restricted access. As frequent high-profile data breaches demonstrate, this practice isn’t ideal. But if each data element is secured and encrypted with a blockchain member’s key, a cybercriminal would need to have access to each key of each member to access all of the blockchain data. This is not to say that blockchain makes all data 100% secure, but it certainly can help to prevent the exposure of large numbers of private records in a single act. E.g., employee or student records, where employers and educational institutions and even industry certification bodies can add new qualifications, grades or work positions as they are obtained. Imagine giving an employee a key for access to all of his or her employee records as part of a secure blockchain that human resources (HR) also participates in. Individuals would be able to share their college transcripts or employment with employers or other educational institutions securely and not rely on faxing copies of certificates that are unreliable and easy to forge.

Blockchain can help to guarantee product quality and safety by making it easier to track and locate in-use products and materials. For example, let’s say an auto manufacturer forms a quality-focused blockchain that includes parts suppliers, sub-assembly makers, a quality-control provider, and the public regulatory body (e.g National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). Recalls of defective parts would then progress much faster, and thus be more effective. This is significant, considering that tens of thousands of lives are lost annually because of defective auto parts.

Blockchain Center of excellence (cooperation between WISeKey and Blockchain research Institute)

Offering for Members and Sponsors

WISeKey, a leading cybersecurity company, and the Blockchain Research Institute (BRI), an organization specialized in blockchain technology, have created a number of interconnected Blockchain Centers of Excellence around the world.

The goal is to accelerate adoption of Blockchain technology, save the country and its businesses two years in research and development of said technology, as well as help prevent the government and its businesses from making big mistakes, and to create better security in government and throughout the country in this new world of cybercrime.

This will aim to be achieved through the following objectives:

Make all research conducted the Blockchain Research Institute available to the Geneva Government;
Develop strategies to make the research available to all businesses in Geneva;
Create a cryptographic root key for the Geneva Government through WISeKey’s leading edge technology
To participate in educational activities and programs for businesses in the country and government employees
Give specialized access to the definitive set of online courses provided on Coursera in partnership with INSEAD and featuring Don Tapscott, which will introduce business professionals to the world of Blockchain technology—explaining what blockchain is, how it works, and why it is revolutionary.
Collaborate in hiring staff to populate and secure office space for the Blockchain Center of Excellence.
Provide consulting on creating services for the Blockchain Center of Excellence to help speed up adoption of Blockchain technology in Geneva and help the position of the Canton as a leading Blockchain Hub

Blockchain to protect intangible assets

Lack of clear evidence of date of creation and ownership for many IP assets that are produced

Increase of intangible assets due to the digital transformation and acceleration of innovation

Evidence and registration of IP rights is either complex, expensive and time consuming, or does not exist. Unregistered assets are at risk.

Launching a Next-Gen Blockchain Application with Digital Invoice Sign-Off

A Solution for Secure Automation of Invoice Approval Process for VAT Reconciliation

100% fully digital business process for the generation of digitally signed invoices and alignment of legal binding activities between the invoice issuer and receiver, bank and treasury.

Remote qualified digital signing through integration with WISekey WiSeID. Users can create legally binding electronic signatures without the hassle of smartcards or other complex devices.

Check account balance via API before payment order submission.

Transactions replicated to all parties through DLT and invoice hashes are stored in blockchain, adding a timestamp dimension of security.

How we are Building the Collaborative TRUST?

Covers the legal requirements for Qualified Digital Signature Certificate. The Digital signature certificate come with private and public key and is issued by a registered authority.

No need for invoice reconciliation because everyone is using the same ledger.

Secure by design. All transactions are digitally signed and assure:

Prevent potential fraud, because it can't be modified in "traffic";
Liability, because it assures that it has been submitted by the owner of the certificate;
Nonrepudiation, because the owner can't renegade the transaction;
Immutability, because transactions are cryptographically linked it assures that nobody can modify the "timestamp" of the transaction.

Can provide a smart framework for opening the rewarding of the "good faith taxpayers" and for promoting a positive fiscal behavior
