Are you doing research or running tests?

Credibility is a key aspect in research and test, but lack of reproducibility related to a wide range of scientific misconduct aspects, from errors to frauds, compromises the quality and outcomes of a research study. Our aim at Connecting Software was to find a way to allow:

Research communities to have a secure way of sharing data;

An individual researcher to have a solid confirmation that their process was not manipulated;

Research data to remain confidential.

Connecting Software’s new add-on for smart stamp document sealing helps to overcome these limitations. Encrypted and tamper-resistant seals protect files and allow you to prove that the document had particular content and look at a specific point of time – all this without disclosing data because only the hash is exposed to the network, not the document itself. The advantages of our add-on are:

Speed and Scalability: The patent-pending technology from our partner Cryptowerk allows writing 1 million transactions per second into any public or private blockchain.

Affordability: The technology we use bundles hashes in one super hash which minimizes speed and cost by 100x times. Besides, transaction costs for public blockchains are much lower and predictable.

Simplicity: No advanced programming skills are required to add the benefits of blockchain technology to your application.

Interoperability: Unlike many solutions, this software can be installed in your existing programs thanks to the powerful Connect Bridge integration platform. This allows you to select an approach without risking everything on a single hardware or software.

Data Privacy: No sensitive data is transferred beyond your network – we only create and send a hash that is unique for your record and not the record itself. The research data stays protected in your system and confidentiality is guaranteed.

Our smart add-on turns your normal research records into sealed records that are timestamped, immutable and auditable. It will, therefore, make your study credible and trusted.

Are you running an eHealth system that handles patients’ medical data?

There are several concerns regarding handling medical data:

Secure and efficient transmission of highly sensitive private medical information: Healthcare data is a lucrative target for hackers and that is why securing Protected Health Information (PHI) and keeping its confidentiality is a primary concern;

Electronic Health Record (EHR), or Electronic Medical Record (EMR) ownership and integrity: The records come in many forms, such as reports, images, videos, and raw data. You need to secure the ownership and integrity of records and make sure the data has not been changed, destroyed, or removed;

Consent management: In eHealth systems, patients should be able to grant authorized persons partial or total access to their personal medical data. It raises ownership concern and traceability issues. 

Are you dealing with medical supplies? 

Medical supply chains have several areas for improvement: manipulated prices, late supply of drugs and prescriptions, costs associated with all the paperwork along the chain;

Drug counterfeiting is yet another big problem as it leads to massive health problems and losses for the whole healthcare industry.  

The solution for all these concerns is our Smart Stamp Document Sealing based on blockchain technology. With this add-on, you can use blockchain from your existing systems, without having to worry about blockchains’ complexity – we do the integration job for you via our powerful Connect Bridge platform and 100+ available connectors. The medical data itself will stay protected in your system and you will address all the security, confidentiality and integrity concerns.  

Do you produce factory equipment or manage production facilities yourself?

In Industry 4.0 where machines communicate to each other, you can seal machine reports, SCADA or PLC data right from the machine or a business application and prove the validity of any process if the need arises.

Prove every step of the manufacturing process or produce sealed machine reports which are impossible to falsify – as frequently as your production needs dictate. Thus, you will have an irrefutable proof that nobody interfered in the production process, or that temperature, raw materials, other features, and components were in this particular state, or with deviations;

If you provide equipment for factories, seal machine reports and obtain 100% tamper-proof evidence about machine performance in case of any issue with the equipment or the product. 

Our OPC UA connector built on the Connect Bridge platform allows integrating machine data into back-office business systems – CRM, ERP or document management systems like Microsoft SharePoint. From inside the familiar environment, with one click seal documents, reports, etc. or allow the add-on to do it automatically for all digital assets. 

Our Smart Stamp Document Sealing software adds security to the communication of IIoT devices, such as wireless sensor systems or production systems. The add-on uses blockchain technology allowing you to get the needed security in a practical, lightweight and cost-effective manner.  

This solution promises huge RoI as it requires only a fraction of the cost that you would normally spend on securing your data. Seamless integration with your existing software means no production downtime. 

Are you a public organization which needs to prove communication with citizens?

Using Connecting Software’s Smart Document Sealing solution integrated with your current document management software you can:

Create smart contracts to automate processes and public services including tax collection, property and land registries, government records management and regulatory compliance – easily, with no extra learning or resources spent; 

Seal emails, photos, faxes, SMS – any digital information;

Record and seal ownership and rights for various types of assets from vehicles to buildings;

Arrange fraud-proof voting, even remote one, with verifiable and immutable votes;

The availability of real-time and hack-resistant records with trustworthy time entries increases the reliability and integrity of the data, offering accountability, efficiency, and reduced bureaucracy. And you don't need to worry about having the citizen's sensitive information out of your controlled environment – only hashes are shared, not the data itself. Our solution is 100% GDPR compliant and ensures “the right to be forgotten”.
