Homework on Provenance - Questions
Q1). How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
A).ItTransforms Data into Immutable, Un-hackable, Unchangeable Records.
When data connects blocksof data, which then are added to an unchangeable chain of blocks in chronological order. Once added and it can only be added. it’s impossible for data to be altered, deleted, tampered with or hacked.
MAKING THE data Immutable and gives it provenance
Q2). Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
A) When data connects block sof data, which then are added to an unchangeable chain of blocks in chronological order. Once added and it can only be added. it’s impossible for data to be altered, deleted, tampered with or hacked.

Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses? SEE SAMPLES BELOW:
A).MANUFACTURING
Manufacturing supply chains are often sophisticated and complex, making transparency and accountability challenging. BLOCKCHAIN supports organisation to verify that supply chain management/auditing processes have
been carried out in accordance with compliance and regulatory requirements.
Health Pharmaceuticals & Med Tech
BLOCKCHAIN provides a solution for the complete traceability of drugs/medical products, from manufacturer to end consumer, and has the ability to identify exactly where the supply chain breaks down during an issue.
Internet of Things (IoT).
IoT devices and the information recorded using them is vast. This information is often business critical. BLOCKCHAIN helps companies relying on IoT data to prove the integrity and correctness of the data recorded.
EDUCATION
Educational institutions utilise Evident Proof to store credentialing data around assessments, degrees, and transcripts to streamline verification procedures and reduce fraudulent claims.
SUPPLY CHAIN
The CDC estimates that foodborne illnesses affect 47.8 million people in the U.S. every year, putting 127,000 into the hospital and killing more than 3,000. By utilising A BLOCKCHAIN platform, companies within a supply chain can gain transparency into shipment, tracking deliveries, and progress among other suppliers where no inherent trust exists.
When emergency services present data in a court of law, a third party is required to validate the data. Data generated by events, information and evidence gained by officers in the course of their duties, can be incorporated into court read Proof Certificates generated from/of the BLOCKCHAIN.
