Using blockchain to streamline supply chains

A Mizzou Engineering researcher is part of team proposing a new way to use blockchain technology to streamline supply chains. Blockchain is a decentralized database that allows multiple stakeholders to access and share information in a secure, transparent manner. Users can provide information to the decentralized database; however, they cannot tamper with data once it is recorded. While others are investigating ways to incorporate it into supply chain systems, the team’s proposal is unique in that researchers studied multiple aspects of the process from a cloud computing perspective, said Praveen Rao, an associate professor with joint appointments in Electrical Engineering & Computer…
