Hedera is a decentralized public network where developers can build secure, fair applications with near real-time consensus. The platform is owned and governed by a council of global innovators including Avery Dennison, Boeing, Deutsche Telekom, DLA Piper, FIS (WorldPay), Google, IBM, LG Electronics, Magalu, Nomura, Swirlds, Tata Communications, University College London (UCL), Wipro, and Zain Group. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) acts as a trust layer for any application or permissioned network and allows for the creation of an immutable and verifiable log of messages. Application messages are submitted to the Hedera network for consensus, given a trusted timestamp, and fairly ordered. Use HCS to track assets across a supply chain, create auditable logs of events in an advertising platform, or even use it as a decentralized ordering service.
BidiKey is a new digital identity authentication platform that is secure, accessible and inexpensive to implement and use. It is applicable to authenticate people and it uses the smartphone as a personal security token. The cryptography that Bidipass applies solves all the problems associated to the authentication of people, identity theft, digital theft and validation of operations as it is a highly secure environment that has the same legal validity as a digital signature.
