I've recently been thinking about a blockchain use case that I have not seen mentioned: security.
It seems like log obfuscation is a common tactic used to cover tracks after a break in. Thus it seems like a blockchain could be used in a logging system so that a falsified log would trigger an alert.
- twic 8y agosystemd's log subsystem has been doing exactly that since 2012: https://lwn.net/Articles/512895/ https://lwn.net/Articles/512895/ Although here's a detail i didn't know: The algorithm for FSS is based on "Forward Secure Pseudo Random Generators" (FSPRG), which comes from some post-doctoral research by Poettering's brother Bertram. So that's just peachy.
