👍🏽 German government tests permissioned version of Ethereum for asylum procedures

Germany's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAFM) concluded that blockchain has far-reaching potential to improve asylum procedures based on analysis published in a white paper this month. The project focused on evaluating blockchain’s potential to support two crucial aspects of asylum procedures: the creation of reliable and secure digital identities and improving communication and cooperation between authorities at a municipal, state and national level. It used a private and permissioned version of an Ethereum-derived blockchain ($ETH) using a proof-of-authority consensus algorithm.
