Blockchain: decentralization of power and its application in defense.- Ricardo Palomo-Zurdo

The blockchain technology promises to be the biggest global technological revolution after the appearance of the Internet. Its uniqueness lies in the concept of decentralization and in the distribution between the nodes of the network of transactions carried out, disappearing the concept of centralization. But also, it is characterized by its ingenious encryption system, by the immutability of the registers and by its traceability virtues, which has attracted attention in the military field, particularly in relation to the control of supply chains in the sector of defense, in terms of cybersecurity in communications and, also, in other areas still in the experimentation phase, such as the activation of weapons systems.
