BRAIN: Blockchain-Based Record and Interoperability Network

Abstract

In today’s highly competitive landscape, effective information sharing is crucial for distinguishing successful entities from the rest. However, achieving seamless collaboration in this digital era remains challenging due to distrust among entities and the absence of a secure data exchange medium. These limitations hinder interactions, reducing competitiveness, especially for resource-constrained entities. To address these challenges, we introduce the Blockchain-based Record and Interoperability Network (BRAIN), a modular framework utilizing blockchain technology. BRAIN offers an innovative solution to foster collaboration, trust, and competitiveness. By leveraging blockchain’s cryptographic techniques, it ensures secure and transparent data exchange, eliminating the need for intermediaries and thereby enhancing productivity and collaboration. BRAIN serves as a configurable foundation for domain-specific applications. BRAIN’s key features include flexibility, efficiency, security, robustness, and scalability. It adapts to diverse applications, integrates seamlessly with existing systems, and ensures secure information sharing. In conclusion, BRAIN provides a foundational platform for entities to assert data ownership and grant access permission. Built on blockchain technology, it offers access traceability and data security and eliminates the need for trusted third parties. Its flexibility and scalability make it a valuable tool for enhancing data sharing. Future enhancements aim to address weaknesses and expand its use cases, promising a robust and versatile solution for secure and efficient data exchange.
