Other Priorities

My takeaways:
Our strengths:
> Paramount is a US based firm with many US resources
> strong Hyperledger Fabric
> some Kubernetes experience, plenty of virtualization experience
> we are willing to provide direct marketing support to clients ( our first webinar on blockchain showed our ability to communicate well )
Our areas to improve:
> get our Fabric certifications
> automated data services, IoT, embedded analytics, identity services, IAM
> more Kubernetes ( useful at Intain and elsewhere as well )
Our opportunity:
> become a services sub on Federal and other projects

Wipro meetings



2005xx planned


focus areas

Let’s please move our meeting back one week. I’m still doing my best to get it signed… The issue is that our group executive is at home and does not have the luxury of his admin or a scanner where he is during this lockdown time. And we are also in the middle of an annual review of all current and potential new partners. I have placed you guys as a very high priority for North America along with one other company. Evidently we are extremely acquisition-focused right now and very partner-scrutinous/critical right now.
Scope in my mind:
  1.  Federal/state government opportunities in general. What are peas are out there right now that we can go after right now together? Especially given your specific status as a minority certified government federal supplier.
  2. Establishing a “meeting of the minds” between your blockchain team and my blockchain lab including a mutual demo of your latest supply chain solution and one of ours.
  3. Potential opportunities and ways to target the federal government and healthcare such as the HHS and other agencies that are formally involved in this Covid-19 battle… Medical testing, supply management, anything related to healthcare in the related data, our group is eager to see if there are current opportunities given everything happening.
  4. Any other commercial opportunities or interests, such as your desire that we potentially white label the supply chain solution that you built and have a few clients signed up for.

Proof of Concept (POC)

...

Goals - POT > POC > POV

The  Statement of Work (SoW) defines requirements for the proof of concept using blockchain and distributed ledger technologies ( DLT ).

...

Learnings from this prototype could be used for consideration of a potential pilot phase in the future



Challenges for a DLT Solution Strategy

Performance will continue to scale from current levels significantly over the next few years

...

How will VCRS ( Value - Costs - Risks - Support ) be managed across the Value Chain Network ( VCN )?







Solution Scope

loan disbursements to network participants for defined disbursement scenarios

Candidate Solution Requirements 


integrated identity management - options for DID or existing IDs

integrate to existing grants, loans system




Section 3 - Solution Strategy deliverables


  • Architecture of the end-to-end systems required to achieve the solution(s).

...

  • Detailed information about the blockchain/DLT technology, including:

  • a) the consensus mechanism that will be used and ability to configure the parties participating in that mechanism; and

  • b) baseline performance metrics (e.g. transaction throughput),

  • c) scalability of the solution,

  • d) future proofing the solution by exploring the viability of implementing smart contracts, tokens,

  • e) potential to interoperability of the solution(s) offered.


Recommended Fabric Consensus Model

recommend RAFT consensus model at this point for a version 2x production solution

Fabric provides very flexible endorsement policies that can match specific network roles


Performance monitoring

Caliper provides operational metrics on blockchain performance

...

create performance aggregates for throughput and response outliers by period for trend, exception analysis



RAS - Reliability, Availability and Service

Blockchain networks have some built-in advantages as decentralized systems

...

Organizations and nodes that go offline can catch up automatically on reconnect with the ledger



Smart Contract Life Cycle Support in v2x

Transactions are digitally signed, executed, endorsed and tracked on the immutable ledger

...

Smart contracts can be extended to provide custom validations on transactions for example



Private Data Enhancements 

https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/whatsnew.html

Instead of sharing private data within a collection of multiple members, you may want to share private data across collections, where each collection may include a single organization, or perhaps a single organization along with a regulator

Private data can be shared with members not a member of a private data collection

Member receiving shared data can verify the transaction is valid by matching the on-chain hashes

Private data allows custom, optional endorsement policies that override smart contract endorsement policies

For example, 2 orgs with private data may have to endorse the transaction as well

For direct, per-organization private data sharing, private data collections do not need to be defined first



Token Support 

Design process can determine the need for different token types in the disbursement solution

...

  • Recommendations for end beneficiary interaction with the blockchain/DLT system and the processes surrounding onboarding (KYC/AML), offboarding, data collection, data privacy/sharing of end beneficiaries.


Assumptions and Considerations for end beneficiaries

All beneficiaries ideally have a compatible mobile device to access the network BUT this can't be assumed as a requirement

...

  • Security, access control, permissions, data privacy and scalability are essential and must be described as part of the response. Also, from the data privacy perspective, provide information on potentially applicable local laws that may need to be considered to ensure that sensitive data of data subjects can be processed in the manner contemplated, examples include, banking or financial sector regulatory restrictions, or data localization issues and etcetera.

  • A project plan for this proof of concept.



Proposed POC Project Plan

The production project plan will be set during the POC based on requirements and results
