How Drupal & Blockchain Are Changing The Perception Of Decentralized Architecture

- 2. Introduction: Blockchain technology is a decentralized, replicated & shared ledger for managing and keeping record of transactions across multiple participants. Before the blockchain technology swept everyone right of the floor, traditional transactions were centralized and dependent on a third-party to create a trust-worthy environment where the transaction partners are strangers. Blockchain distributed ledger technology allows different nodes to interact directly with each other, being independent of a third party source.
- 3. How BlockChain Works? 1. A Transaction is Requested 2. A Block that represents the transaction is created 3. The Block is sent to every node in the Network 4. Nodes Validate the Transaction -> Nodes Receive a reward for the proof of Work 5. The Block is added to the existing Blockchain 6. The Transaction is Complete.
- 4. What Does This Mean for Digital Content? The digital world was rocked by one of the most complex cases of data breach- the Facebook controversy. Not to forget, the “Google Terms of Service” that allows Google to actively track almost every internet activity of yours. Data that is handled by a central entity, is easily accessible while the user does not have complete control. With Blockchain technology, things are going to be different. It ensures that the data stored is completely tamper proof and no single organization can take hostage of data. Blockchain decentralized technologies that are playing a vital role in digital content management are : IOTA, Smart Contracts from Etherium, Bitcoin, Hyperledger, Blockchain database from BigchainDB.
- 5. Where Does Drupal Fit In? Workflows of Drupal and Blockchain are completely different. For example consider a Hospital with a number of branches around the country.There is a ton of data and everything has to be handled efficiently to ensure things don't go out of hand! By creating a Blockchain decentralized architecture which is secure and also immutable, blockchain can handle every piece of information precisely, as well play a huge role in reduction of cost and the time-cycle of transactions. Blockchain Architecture allows rule based transactions possible with no communication gaps. All the approvals and the information edited, deleted and corrected will be documented.
- 6. 1. Let us consider a Hospital with a number of branches around the country. A healthcare network is huge, with great amount of data. 2. By creating a decentralized architecture which is secure and also immutable, blockchain can handle every piece of information precisely 3. Patient data for example can be made universally available and the info can be validated by the patient himself, by providing him access and control. 4. Blockchain can create an architecture that allows rule based transactions possible with no communication gaps. All the approvals and the information edited, deleted and corrected will be documented. Yes, this system has a few challenges of its own with respect to need for a decentralized consensus.
- 7. 5. This is where, Drupal CMS comes into the picture. Now if this entire healthcare network was on Drupal, each department of the hospital had its own website handled by Drupal individually. 6. For example, Drupal 1 could deal with patient data across the main website. And Drupal 2 could take care of medical claims and other insurances. While Drupal 3 could handle career and other campaigns. 7. Blockchain and Drupal together can do wonders for a better integration.
- 8. Conclusion: People now are quite aware of their rights on data and how organizations breach the data privacy policy to gain control over it. Today organizations across various industries around the world are testing their business applications of blockchain technology. With the Drupal community looking to explore options beyond the ever used centralized content distribution, it is time to think seriously about implementing Drupal with blockchain technology.
