The Russian army is building a Blockchain research laboratory
Hi, this is the information about the Russian Ministry of Defense that is launching a research laboratory to analyze how blockchain technology can be used to mitigate attacks from cyber security, a local newspaper reported.
The country's military technology accelerator, known as ERA, is launching a special scientific laboratory to determine if blockchain technology can be used to identify cyber attacks and protect critical infrastructure, according to the Russian newspaper Izvestia.
He reported that the research has already begun to explore possible applications for blockchain technology, although the laboratory itself is still being developed.
The priorities of ERA is the development of an intelligent system to detect and prevent cyber attacks in important databases, according to the document. To that end, the organization has formed a team of specialists in information security.
The expert Alexei Malanov, in antivirus of Kaspersky Lab, a Moscow-based cyber security firm, told the newspaper that blockchain-based platforms can make it difficult to hide the traces of cyber attacks.
He explained that online intruders often clean access logs on devices to hide traces of unauthorized access to the device. However, by using a distributed ledger, the risk of this happening is minimized.
Klimenko, a former technology adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, said similarly that work in blockchain studios has been "useful" for the nation's cybersecurity industry.
This laboratory, which is being built in the Russian coastal town of Anapa, will eventually fall under the command of the Armed Forces General Staff of the Eighth Directorate of the Russian Federation, which also focuses on information security
