Cloud Improves Citizen Experiences with the
Federal Government
Increase public participation in government by
promoting government transparency through open
and public accessible data. Executive order
13642 outlines a clear vision for “Making Open and
Machine Readable the New Default for Government
Information” wherever possible and legally
permissible.
Better leverage Federal assets, expertise,
and partnerships toward a cross-agency priority to
improve science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) education. Build new models
for leveraging assets and expertise, and build and
use evidence-based approaches.
For major infrastructure, minimize the impact on
safety, security, and environmental resources.
Modernize the Federal government’s role in
permitting and review processes. Provide agency
staff the ability to effectively implement existing
regulations, policies, and guidance.
Smarter IT delivery that will dramatically improve
customer satisfaction with federal technology
services by strengthening agency accountability.
Get the best companies working with the Federal
government. Put the right processes and practices
in place to drive outcomes and accountability.

BlockChain — 5 trends to watch in 2016
11
• It’s more than just Bitcoin. In 2016, awareness grows across business and IT leaders that
blockchain will have far greater implications than just enabling electronic payments.
• Linux Foundation unites industry leaders. An open source and collaborative
development strategy that supports multiple players in multiple industries is required. This
project will develop an enterprise grade, open source distributed ledger framework.
• Blockchain enables a secure IoT: Blockchain offers the ability to secure transactions at
the edge of networks, making it popular with IT security professionals.
• Financial Services. Blockchain will cause major disruption to existing processes such as
crowdfunding, digital payments, trading, settlement and clearing.
• Industry Apps & Clouds. Developers focus on embedding blockchain capabilities into
industry-specific decentralized applications to support business transactions. Industry
clouds evaluate BlockChain ledger for recording and verifying transactions within industries.
“Distributed ledgers are poised to
transform a wide range of industries from
banking and shipping to the Internet of
Things, among others.” Jim Zemlin,
executive director at The Linux
Foundation
“We are closely monitoring the proliferation
of this (Blockchain) technology and already
addressing it in certain contexts.”

Solution: A consensus based system, where each transaction has to be approved by the nodes
How does Blockchain Work?
• User triggers a transaction.
• The transaction is represented as a block.
• The block is broadcasted to every party in the network.
• Those in the network approve the transaction is valid.
• The block gets added to the chain, which provides an indelible and transparent record of transactions.
• The transaction is complete
Benefits
• Immutable, irreversible and utilizes cryptographic protocols for enhanced security
• Works on multiple platforms, protocols and programs commonly known as the 3P’s
Use Case: Infrastructure Permitting Modernization
Protecting critical infrastructure against cyberattacks by providing a distributed ledger that can
be shared across a network of multiple sites, geographies or institutions.
