Ericsson Launches Blockchain Data Integrity for GE's Predix Platform

Ericsson Blockchain Data Integrity is now commercially available on GE's Predix platform for building industrial applications, helping to provide fully auditable, compliant and trustworthy data to Predix builders.

GE designed the Predix platform to enable customers to develop, deploy, operate and monetize industrial internet applications. In industries, such as public utilities, transport, healthcare and aviation, stringent requirements for data integrity and verifiable trust must be met in order to achieve regulatory compliance.

Blockchain Data Integrity Offering from Ericsson

Ericsson Blockchain Data Integrity is based on Ericsson's Data Centric Security offering. It is designed to help automate the generation and verification of tamperproof, irreversible signatures to guarantee the integrity of the software supply chain across data, system configuration, firmware and field operations. The service can be triggered through RESTful APIs, and it can support an independently verifiable chain of custody for data pipelines and workflows, from data capture to storage, without reliance on central trust authorities or a public key infrastructure.

The service is designed to deliver massive scale, near real-time signature verification, post-quantum proof, and high service availability.

Ericsson's Blockchain Data Integrity helps to provide a complete, publicly evident chain of custody from data capture to storage. The service's features are designed to meet regulatory compliance requirements, helping to:

• Create tamperproof, irreversible signatures

• Provide near real-time signature verification

• Enable continuous monitoring and tamper detection

• Offer scalability with consistent performance regardless of the volume of clients or the volume, size or type of signed and verified data

• Provide portablity across geographies, organizational boundaries and service providers

• Ensure compliance with legal, regulatory and business requirements
