In the future, blockchain ID systems will let you choose what information you expose to what person and at what level. The more anonymous data it has, the safer it will be. Blockchain systems will help curb the theft of identity and data by not sharing information with those who don’t need it or have permission to see it.

Another aspect of blockchain technology is that it will shift fraud from where it happened (past tense) to where it is currently happening in real time. Within our current system, audits are fractional postmortems of what has happened. A group of outside auditors comes in, pulls a few random files, and sees if everything is in place. Doing anything beyond this is too costly and time-consuming.

Record systems that have blockchain technology integrated within them will be able to audit a file as it’s created, and flag incomplete or unusual files as they’re created. This will give managers the tools they need to proactively correct files before they become a problem.

Another feature of blockchain systems will be their ability to share data with third parties transparently. In the future, sharing data will be as easy as emailing a Zip file, except the receiver will then have access to the original copy, not a copy of the file sent via email. When someone sends a file, they now have a version on their computer and the receiver has a version. With blockchain technology, the two people will be sharing only one version.
