The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has co-published an assessment of how four blockchain platforms measure up against the rigorous security requirements of the U.S. Federal Government and according to the report, only one of the platforms has passed the test.

While the IEEE isn’t a decision maker for what the federal government adopts, it can have a view on what it is likely to do by assessing blockchain providers against the government’s own vetting rules that are used to guide federal adoption of technology.Today In: Crypto & Blockchain

The Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) requires that all new federal IT programs and modernization efforts using blockchain meet National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cryptographic standards. If the technology doesn’t meet them, then the federal government cannot use the technology.
