Blockchain System Certification
The International Standards Organisation (ISO) is working on a series of blockchain and DLT standards ISO/TC 307. This week the ISO published a business plan which says the first standards will be released no later than 2021. While it’s enormously time-consuming to develop standards, 3.5 years from now is generations in blockchain years.
The ISO plans to develop a terminology standard no later than 2020. However, some of the most critical aspects don’t yet have timeframes, because the requirements need further definition. These include security, privacy, identity, and interoperability.
