Blockchain/ Distributed Ledger

Good morning team,

I am the new Director of Research for the St. Louis CSA chapter, and I'd like to contribute to this area. It looks like there is not currently a working group addressing the security tradeoffs between private and public blockchain hosting for an enterprise use. Is there any interest from the community to address this?

I will attend the next meeting, and try to attend as many as I can. In brief, I'm a computer science PhD with a focus on formal methods, and an interest in blockchain. I have a hypothesis that the tradeoffs of private vs public blockchain will tend to favor public chains, and would like to conduct further research on this topic.

I look forward to meeting you all.

Thanks,

Seth Ahrenbach, PhD
