The U.S. Navy invented a blockchain technology to protect software at the developmental level and now seeks private sector partners to help with research and development.
The United States Navy is seeking private sector partners for a cooperative research and development agreement to help advance its proprietary “PARANOID” blockchain technology.
The Naval Air Warfare Center’s Aircraft Division at Lakehurst, New Jersey, invented and developed PARANOID to secure avionics software for the U.S. Navy but soon thereafter realized its applicability to any software development endeavor wherein security is a factor. If bad actors were to try and hijack or hack software during development by editing, replacing, or deleting code or files, such changes would fail verification against the PARANOID system’s immutable database on the blockchain.
Though it appears to be the first proprietary blockchain invention we’ve seen commercialized from the U.S. Navy, it’s not the U.S. military’s first foray into the technology itself.
