England will use Blockchain to provide data privacy. The Bank of England, the UK's central bank, is developing a proof of concept (PoC) that allows an overview of what is being done while examining how to secure privacy over a distributed led-based network. PoC is a proof of concept that includes Blockchain technology.

UK doing research on DLT to ensure data privacy

The Bank of England, which is part of the project with Chain, a Blockchain initiative that develops infrastructure protocols, published a study on Wednesday to investigate how to secure high levels of data confidentiality among participants through a distributed network and facilitate the processing of different financial assets.

Prevents PoC operations from being completely hidden

According to the ideal scenario depicted by the Central Bank, the distributed ledger system will be designed to ensure that transactions are kept private while ensuring that all data is shared across the network and at the same time maintaining a regulatory view of all transactions.

Aiming to build academic understanding rather than a practical solution, the PoC allows the Bank of England to create a window for developing distributed book technology (DLT) for its existing business functions, while also preventing the transaction from being completely hidden.

Bank of England is testing a proof of concept

The project came a few days after the Bank of England released a plan to put the real-time gross domestic product system into effect on a DLT basis as the basis for the next generation. The Bank of England is now testing a proof of concept.

UK says Blockchain technology is still very new

However, according to Bank of England, scalability is one of the highest valuations that the primary hurdle institution is moving towards the DLT system. While advocating that the ideal scenario is "theoretically possible", the Bank of England also emphasizes that technology is still at a very new stage and adds:

In view of the risks associated with scalability, acceleration of transactions and the security of cryptographic techniques in use, trade costs will need to be explored further.
