S1E8: Leveraging Distributed Ledgers for Privacy Assurance with Jim Nasr

Today, I am joined by Jim Nasr, CEO of Acoer. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Jim on several projects during my 6-month stint as Privacy Strategist for Hedera. Jim joins me today to discuss the use of distributed ledger tech (DLT) to provide computational trust for real-time applications. Jim and I speak about the development of secure, privacy-preserving, and traceable technologies, which can gain adoption via open protocols and usable interfaces. --------- Thank you to our sponsor, Privado, the developer-friendly privacy platform --------- In part one of this two-episode conversation, Jim explains Acoer"s approach to building DLT-enabled software and its initial application to healthcare and clinical trials. Jim shares his background and experience in tech both academically and professionally; as an entrepreneur in software development; his roles in large-scale tech companies and with the government at the CDC; and how he enjoyed “getting his hands dirty” in public health to bring automated trust and accountability to the space. At Acoer, Jim continues his previous work - to build open technologies - by leveraging DLT and also building interfaces with usable privacy and security.  In this conversation, Jim also covers the security and privacy approaches that Acoer takes to ensure that its products work as advertised and so that the machinery of its clients is never compromised. ---------- Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform. ---------- Topics Covered:How Acoer designs and builds its tech as components to be absorbed & consumed by other machinesHow using DLT reduces the need for intermediariesAcoer"s approach to building decentralized apps & why it chose to build on hashgraph tech instead of blockchainBenefits gained from DLT"s "data stamping" to computationally prove transactions & to assist during data leakages, compliance issues, or to demonstrate privacy assuranceHow you can use NFTs to represent individuals" consents via RightsHash Resources Mentioned:Learn about AcoerLearn about RightsHash Jim Nasr"s Info:Follow Jim on LinkedInFollow Jim on Twitter Send us a text Privado.ai Privacy assurance at the speed of product development.
