• Industrialisation – Manual labour replace by Machine production
• The development of the modern computers and internet is a proven fact.
• Centralization of authority – Key characteristic of feudalism
• The essence of cloud computing is to provide a single platform to consolidate the hardware,
and software resources administered by different groups in different regions.
Why cloud computing belongs to the Feudal Industrial Age
Although，cloud computing has brought down the
cost of operation efficiently。
but，“Centralisation "has its shortcomings too，
• Data security.
• Disconnection between cloud computing
and terminal server”.
• Challenges to data accountability & trust
mechanism.

Is there a technology to overcome these
shortcomings ?
One of the answers is Blockchain

5.
In October 2015, the 1st Global Blockchain Summit
was held in Shanghai. Geeks, entrepreneurs, academic
experts, investors, corporate executives, and regulatory
policy makers gathered and discussed the business
applications and opportunities of blockchain
technology in industry, such as Payment, Internet of
Things, securities trading, digital assets management.
Over 200 guests from the financial industry, including
banking, payments, securities and commodities
attended the summit.

In a 20th January release, The People’s
Bank of China (PBoC) said that it is
moving toward the launch of its own
cryptocurrency. The bank wants to use
its control over the currency to reduce
money laundering, tax evasion and other
criminal acts. Blockchain will form the
backbone of its cryptocurrency.

Blockchain：Decentralised Database- First used in Bitcoin。
Encrypted
transaction
Step 1
Block
Every online transaction is
represented in a block
Step 2
Each block record, is distributed
to all the participants
Step 3
Participants validate
the block - transaction record
Step 4
Step 5
The block is added to
the block chain- the
transaction is recorded Step 6
Transaction completed
Encrypted

E.g.：R3 CEV
E.g.：Bitcoin
Types of Blockchain Features of Blockchain
• Decentralised
• Data is replicated on all the nodes in a P2P network, and each
node’s copy of the data is identical to every other node’s copy
• Consensus mechanism
• All users in the network can come to collectively agree on the
validity of the data recorded
• Irreversibility and crypto security
• One would need to command at least 51% of the computing
power of all mining nodes to take control of the block chain -to
overturn the consensus blockchain.
• Openness
• Data is open to all on the P2P network
• Anonymity
• Individual parties are never identified. Instead, security keys
(public and private key pairs) are required to gain access to
transaction output.
• Multiplatform
• Every blockchain node has the same calculation and data
structure. Any platform will be able to compute the node.

Benefits of block chain that banks can leverage on
• Security: irreversible, immutable, traceable
• Ease of governance : Utilises name base block chain, every node will be identified, e.g. alliances, issuers, general
users
• Low operating cost : Reduce the cost of transactions
• Shortened the settlement time of financial transactions: UBS white paper: business process time can be reduced
to 15 seconds.
• Santander bank: using blockchain technology will help the banking sector to reduce expenses by 20 million USD.

Making the world’s
systems honest
“Honesty is subversive” - Paul Snow

39.
• In today’s global economy trust is in rare
supply。This lack of trust requires the devotion
of a tremendous amount of resources to audit
and verify records. Thus reducing global
efficiency, return on investment, and prosperity.。
• Incidents such as the 2010 United States
foreclosure crisis demonstrate that, the current
processes are terribly inaccurate, efficient and
prone to failure.。
• Factom removes the need for blind trust by providing
precise, verifiable, and immutable audit trail.

Factom Use Case 1 – Saving BoA $17 Billion
Factom could utilize the bitcoin blockchain to keep
Bank of America’s records permanently engrained in
the distributed public ledger.
The entries are then “filed” into directory blocks
and secured to the bitcoin blockchain every ten
minutes. They can then be audited in real time and
verified instantly, allowing everyone to double check
the work completed and catch mistakes if they arise
before they become a problem.
Background
Multiple mortgage companies, were fined
billions of dollars due to a mishandling of
mortage records. One of these companies was
Bank of America who fell victim to a $17 billion
fine, also known as the largest fine in history.。

Factom stores data for its clients using
encryptions that are called hashes in blockchain
in a decentralised system. Because the data is
encoded, no one except the user who created the
encryption can decipher it.
Blockchain technologies could prevent the
disastrous Sony hack ,and shift big companies
away from central databases.
Factom Use Case 2 - Protecting Sony Pictures with Blockchain

On November 24, 2014, a hacker group which leaked out
confidential data from the film studio Sony Pictures
Entertainment. The data included personal information
about employees and their families, e-mails, salaries,
copies of then-unreleased Sony films….

Factom Use Case 3: Unlocking $9 Trillion in Land Value
Background
Solution
In many developing countries, land owners do not have
proof of rights to landownership 。Hernando De
Soto :”main problem of development is not that the
poor in the third world lack capital, but that many lack the
legal title to assets they already hold. Giving them legal title
will unleash this “dead capital” so that it can be used
as collateral for loans to fund businesses or expand
homes.。

Global Perspectives
The potential of decentralised ledgers and block chains

45.
Recent Developments – Collaboration Of Governments With Industry
To Explore Strategic Potential Of Block Chains
Implementation of block chains is driven by:
1. The ability of block chain to provide a basis for cryptographic trust
in a similar way to PKI
• Block chains could leverage PKI’s deployed scale and governance
• PKIs could leverage block chain’s payment and ledger functions
2. Permissioned ledgers contain a data field of unlimited size
• Information about a transaction, including the contract, licence or copyright,
could be included, providing a strong additional factor for trust.
• Enables ‘smart contracts’, offering efficiency and non-repudiation.

46.
3. Smartphones are becoming the de facto trusted user device
The latest smart phones include new security features such as:
• Trusted Platform Module – secures digital certificates and cryptographic
keys for authentication, encryption and signing
• Consumers can sign transactions (eg using a block chain) and payments (eg
using a ‘trusted Bitcoin’) using smartphones.

Although，
At present Blockchain still have
shortcomings.

51.
• Is blockchain really superior to current solutions？What are the benchmarks？
* Can blockchain really reduce resources cost , improve service quality or
enhance users experience?
• Immutable public ledger, standardised contracts, accounting, and transactions
may seems too idealistic .
* Different nature of businesses ,and changing organisation needs will impede
the establishment of a single standard.
• To succeed, blockchain applications need to create true value to the users.
• Issues on the consolidation and allocation of resources：
*How should research resources be allocated ？Can related or similar resources
be consolidated to create synergies？
• What solutions ,and which industry domains should receive the most resource
funding?

52.
• Ensuring security and immutability of data may drive up cost.
*To ensure the immutability of data（One needs enough computing power to
control more than 51% of the data copies to gain control of the
blockchain) ,implies incurring huge storage and resource power cost.
*Low storage efficiency：1.Huge amount of copies. 2.Blockchain size cannot be
reduced（expired and useless data will also be stored.).
• Rebooting of data is time consuming：New content X number of copies，and
coupled with distance and bandwidth, will be time consuming。
Affect user experience, e.g. high volume trading , processing huge data base.
• Illegal activities e.g. money laundering, financing terrorism, fraud, and
impersonation.
* A decentralised framework may not meet regulatory requirements.
* Early intervention and overregulation by regulators, may impede blockchain
developments, and the potential benefits of blockchain may not realised.

Regulators should keep up with financial innovations
MAS Ravi Menon： “If you start regulating every
one of those, you stifle a lot of innovation, and they
don’t get a chance to grow,” MAS will regulate
fintech firms only when they pose risks.
Support for FinTech：
• Promote Greater inter-operability across data systems is a key priority. E.g. an “all-in-one” addressing system, that will
enable e-payments using the payee’s mobile number, email address, social network account, or other proxies. Without
the need to know the payee’s bank account number.
• MAS will therefore introduce a “regulatory sandbox” approach that aims to give FIs more confidence to experiment and
launch their innovative products or services within controlled boundaries.。

THE ECONOMICS OF FINANCIAL INCLUSION
• The problem of financial exclusion does not just exist in undeveloped
countries
• 7.7% of US households are unbanked and 20% are underbanked
• The underserved in the world turn to non-traditional forms of
alternative financial services such as those provided by cheque cashers,
loan sharks and pawnbrokers.
• For example, illegal workers in the US who cash cheques via agents such
as cheque cashing depots or convenience stores.

62.
• The global picture of the unbanked and underbanked is even more skewed.
• Only 50% of adults in the world have an individual or joint account at a formal
financial institution (Demirguc-Kunt and Klapper , 2012)
• There are 2.5 billion adults in the world with no formal bank accounts, most of them
are in developing economies.

From Dark Net to Saviour?
• Is Blockchain a collaboration enabler?
• A basis upon which people/entities can easily collaborate with distant
strangers/entities
• Is Blockchain an asset sharing enabler?
• Will Blockchain lead to a self governing IoT society based on voluntary
institutions via voting?
• Will Blockchain lead to a large scale de-centralized collaboration?
• Will Blockchain be able to run a mutual insurance pool?
• Will Blockchain be able to establish a mutual credit system?
