Blockchain bootcamp graduation project ,dapp for digitized ID linked with your DNA

1. DNA Ledger ID
Digitized ID linked with your DNA
Presentation for graduation project in Blockchain bootcamp at NU TechSpace

2. How BlockChain Can Help?
Based on the CSIRO’s study, government bodies that implement blockchain can resolve some key issues:
1. Data integrity. Without a central authority keeping all the data, validating nodes in the blockchain have to agree
on a universal truth.
2. High availability. Having data in a blockchain opens the architecture to redundancies, removing the risk of a
single point of failure.
3. Interoperability. Data in a blockchain share infrastructure, so referencing data is made easier.
4. Reduced latencies. Blockchains can have local nodes, so data transfer is faster. Ease of adding providers. In a
public blockchain, providers are able to join the network independently.

3. Why DNA ?
Simply You can ditch your computer and leave your cellphone at home, but you can't escape your DNA.

4. Use cases
● In crime Few would disagree about the power of DNA to catch criminals — and to clear the innocent. Hundreds of
wrongly convicted people around the world have been freed thanks to DNA tests. A recent AP investigation found
that at least 24 men in the United States convicted of or charged with murder or rape based on bite marks on the
flesh of victims have been exonerated since 2000, thanks to DNA evidence.
● Homeless and lost children : Using DNA Ledger ID would help to know the identity for those children and bring them
back to their families.
● Amnesia: Where person can’t help the authorities with the basic data to help them to bring him back to his family
using DNA Ledger ID will facilitate and speed up this operation compared with the traditional way.

5. Issues with the project
Government acceptance to store the identities of her citizens.
Legislations that prevent governments for attacking the privacy of their citizen and store their DNA data.
Human rights concerns about DNA database and breaking their privacy.

6. ● For any privacy issue : the DNA data are stored securely hashed based on sha 256 algorithm. Saving the original
data will be off-chain if the the citizen agreed to keep it and government accept that.
● For the government acceptance: There so many countries including Egypt , UAE , USA , Estonia and lots of others
who provide national databases for genome ,and some intend to adopt regarding to Forensic Genetics Policy
Initiative wiki pge.
● For the legislations : Saving the DNA is not forced in our project. You can store DNA data according to country
legislations.
How we solve these issues partially
