Writeable Data

data on a regular basis, but don't want them to have write access to the data, then you may benefit from using a blockchain. Utilizing a blockchain in your business may help to streamline the process by providing users with read-only access in addition to a having a log in a more traditional sense when it is required.

Writeable Data

An average user database is generally protected through a mix of usernames and passwords, as well as several levels of restricted access. You can then implement even more security measures to prevent your high-level data from being accessed when it shouldn’t. Even with all of these precautions, it is still less than the standard blockchain security protocols that make it perfectly clear who created which blocks and the time and place they created those blocks.

These measures ensure that every transaction is always completed with the full knowledge of the creator, who can then confirm, and sign off on the transaction. This, of course, assumes that the individuals aren't adding information directly to the node. The signature is then further confirmed before the block can be attached to the chain. Even if a username and password combination is not required for users to have access, the chain will still automatically log the IP address of any user who creates new blocks.
