1. Introduction
Purpose of This Paper
Government has served an important function, to maintain trusted information for member of its society. Blockchain technology can revolutions how agents collect and process information. We believe the future will involve a world with many interconnected distributed databases and blockchains, each of which will be specialized to suit the purposes of its users, In this interconnected world, it is the role of the Public Sector to define and facilitate these relationships.
The purpose of this paper is to derive pathways for the Public Sector when discovering the benefits of Blockchain Technology When discussing Blockchain thru a Public Sector lenselens, (3) important segments need addressing: (1) Identity Management for Public Sector

Across Governments [state the intended audience as precisely as possible. For most white papers, this will be a technical audience, not a business audience. Does their level of technical understanding matter? Are there some matters they should already understand before they can get anything from the current document? Can we point them to this kind of prerequisite information? Does it matter which framework(s) they are using: Fabric, Indy, Sawtooth, etc? Does it matter what issue they are trying to understand: security, interoperability, etc?]
1.1 What is Hyperledger
Background
Blockchain is an emerging technology pattern that we believe can radically improve banking, supply-chain, and other transaction networks, creating new opportunities for innovation and growth while reducing the cost and risk of related business operations. With the rapid emergence of Bitcoin in the transactions domain since 2009, many businesses and industries have invested significant resources in investigating the underlying technology that powers the popular, yet controversial, cryptocurrency.
Blockchain is a peer-to-peer distributed ledger technology that first gained traction in the financial industry because of its capacity to issue, trade, manage, and service assets efficiently and securely. The distributed ledger makes it easy to create cost-efficient business networks without requiring a central point of control, in marked contrast to the world of SoR (System of Records), where every member in the ecosystem needs to maintain its own ledger system and reconcile transaction updates with one another in inefficient, expensive, and often non-standardized inter-organizational operation flows.
As the shared ledger concept gains traction in the business world, blockchain smart contracts are also getting a lot of attention from industry. A smart contract is a collection of business rules which are deployed on a blockchain, and shared and validated collectively by a group of stakeholders. A smart contract can automate business processes in a trusted way by allowing all stakeholders to process and validate contractual rules as a group.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were designed to be completely open, decentralized, and permissionless: anyone can participate without establishing an identity; one only has to contribute by spending computation cycles. Under the Bitcoin model of blockchain, there is no central authority that controls admission; these networks have been called permissionless. Bitcoin is costly to operate because it requires innumerable proof-of-work computations.
Hyperledger takes a much more flexible approach to consensus than the traditional blockchain model. We expect most--but not necessarily all--of our use cases to require permissioned blockchains, something that cryptocurrencies do not directly support. However, we expect that even some of the use cases of permissioned blockchains will require different consensus algorithms. For instance, round-robin consensus may be sufficient for certain small, highly trusted blockchains, while other blockchains may require Paxos or PBFT variants. For this reason, Hyperledger includes support for modular, plug-and-play consensus. This modularity gives Hyperledger the potential to save computation cycles, scale efficiently, and respond to the multitude of enterprise use case requirements by providing a secure, robust model for identity, auditability, and privacy.
What is Hyperledger
Hyperledger is an open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. It is a global collaboration, hosted by The Linux Foundation, including leaders in finance, banking, Internet of Things, supply chains, manufacturing and technology. Hyperledger, as part of the Linux Foundation, provides technology leaders a uniquely open and collaborative international community from which to develop, validate, and field enterprise-grade blockchain technology solutions.

FRAMEWORK | BRIEF DESCRIPTION |
HYPERLEDGER FABRIC | A platform for building distributed ledger solutions with a modular architecture that delivers a high degree of confidentiality, flexibility, resiliency, and scalability. This enables solutions developed with HyperledgerFabric to be adapted for any industry. |
HYPERLEDGER SAWTOOTH | A modular platform for building, deploying, and running distributed ledgers. Sawtooth features a new type of consensus, proof of elapsed time (PoET) which consumes far fewer resources than proof of work (PoW). |

1.2 Public Sector:
[Add a page break at the end of this section]his white paper explains... [start with a brief topic sentence that sums up what’s in the document. This section “tells them what you’re going to tell them.”]
[In this section, provide a high-level introduction to the topic being covered. If the main body of the white paper will cover four different topics, name them each here, and point to the section where they are considered in more detail.]
[This section doesn’t have to be written first, but it must be filled in before the publication is complete. This helps readers understand the scope of the white paper and whether it’s worth their time to read the entire publication.]
Public Sector
Definitions
Public sector organisations are businesses set up with the aim of providing a public service rather than making a profit., existing in all three layers of government ( Federal. State Local)
...
- Funding for public services are usually raised through a variety of methods, including taxes, fees, and through financial transfers from other levels of government
Examples of organizations in the public sector include:
- Education (Schools, Libraries)
- Electricity
- Emergency Services
- Fire Service
- Gas and Oil
- Healthcare
- Infrastructure
- Law Enforcement
- Police Services
- Postal Service
- Public Transit
- Social Services
- Waste Management
- .
1.3 IMPACT STATEMENT:
Our focus is to define the Journeys a through the various functions when public sector operations are managed by blockchains. As a person interacts m a journey starts through the Circles of governance .....a blockchain.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Blockchain technology is relatively new technology and is in its very early stages of adoption. Questions need to be answered as to how the Public Sector and related industries can leverage blockchain technology in various verticals. While there is a great hype and interest in the technology it is critical to ensure that initial deployments consider right use cases to demonstrate the effective use of technology.
