The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has awarded a grant of $192,380 to blockchain project Factom to support beta testing of a platform aimed to secure data from Border Patrol cameras and sensors, the agency announced Friday.
“In Phase IV, Factom will deploy this technology in a realistic field environment with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to understand its operational impacts.”
Factom, a Texas-based startup, is working on a technology that integrates data collected by the sensors and cameras onto a blockchain, securing data and eliminating the opportunity to spoof, modify or disrupt it, according to the release.
Factom’s product will be tested in an environment with limited internet connectivity and variable weather conditions to gauge its performance in a live Border Patrol scenario.
As reported by CoinDesk, Factom received $200,000 from the DHS in 2016 to begin developing the current project.
