The U.S. Navy is seeking private sector collaboration to advance “PARANOID” blockchain technology

On June 3rd, the US Navy is seeking private sector partners to enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to help advance its proprietary "PARANOID" Blockchain technology. PARANOID (a robust identity verification system for Navy operational flight program development) is a blockchain-based system used to protect software from cyber attacks during development and deployment. PARANOID protects software throughout the development process by verifying files at each step across nodes through blockchain. Each action taken by developers is registered as an entry on the PARANOID blockchain, providing an activity ledger.
