Announcement
This project introduces the notion of a manufacturing provide chain “traceability chain,” which is comprised of a series of manufacturing traceability records written to business certain ecosystem blockchain associated technologies. Just after solution delivery to a essential infrastructure, national safety, or other finish user with stringent traceability needs, the traceability chain can be study in reverse, via intermediate actions, to the original elements, such as microelectronics and computer software. The traceability chain gives provide chain visibility from finish-user to original elements.
The Project Description describes an open-supply Traceability Chain MVP (Minimum Viable Item) reference implementation employing open-supply technologies for blockchain associated technologies and script automation to allow illustrative scenarios.
The Traceability Chain MVP is intended to be a beginning point for additional analysis and refinement by business sectors to add specificity in traceability records to assistance their traceability requirements. Additional, requirements orgs are also encouraged to discover possibilities for standardization of how traceability records are written and later study, like mechanisms of how records are traversed.
Business is invited to comment on the Project Description throughout the comment period.
Manufacturing provide chains are increasingly essential to keeping the wellness, safety, and the financial strength of the United States. As provide chains supporting Important Infrastructure come to be extra complicated and the origins of merchandise come to be tougher to discern, efforts are emerging that boost traceability of goods by exchanging traceability information records employing blockchain associated technologies. Current events and existing financial situations exposed the effect of disruptions in the safety and continuity of the U.S. national manufacturing provide chain. This in turn, drew essential consideration to the will need to illuminate and safe the provide chain from many hazards and dangers. Additional, the U.S. manufacturing provide chain is susceptible to logistical disruptions, in addition to the effects of nefarious actors searching for fraudulent acquire or attempting to sabotage or corrupt manufactured merchandise. Enhancing the traceability of goods and supplies that flow via the manufacturing provide chain may well assist mitigate these dangers. This project will continue developing on ongoing NCCoE efforts to demonstrate the part that blockchain associated technologies may well play to boost manufacturing provide chain traceability and integrity by exploring a number of use situations and the challenges surrounding implementing provide chain traceability and will outcome in a freely out there NIST Cybersecurity publication.
