Oasis joins ISITC Europe to specify technical standards for blockchain

Friday 14 October 2016 11:16 CET | News

The Organisation for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (Oasis) has teamed up with the International Securities Association for Institutional Trade Communication (ISITC) Europe to define technical standards for blockchain/distributed ledger technology (DLT).

According to both companies “the project will secure international support for a suite of measurable standards for blockchain technology and operational requirements, based on DLT benchmarks developed by the ISITC Europe Blockchain Working Group”.

The ISITC Europe DLT benchmarks establish a methodology for characteristics such as: resilience, scalability, security, latency, data, governance, legal, regulatory, software, and network.

Gary Wright, co-chair of the ISITC Europe Blockchain Working Group, says “there is an industry-wide void in the understanding of how blockchain DLT technology can be implemented and a fragmentation in its application”. Furthermore, he adds that the benchmarks “will provide a valuable tool that will help the industry make sound, informed decisions” and that “by combining academic research with industry operational knowledge, we’ll produce a resilient and sustainable benchmark that can become a standard that can be trusted”.
