Do Blockchain Firewalls Represent the Next Generation of Internet Security?

Colleagues, amid the fanfare of R3’s recent launch of the first Blockchain-based firewall the fundamental question is whether Corda Enterprise does in fact represent a new era of improved network and Internet security? Corda states it is able to limit communication between Blockchain nodes operating in different environments, and with different informational needs from their network. in any Blockchain architecture each node uses point-to-point messaging to communicate with other peer nodes. It would be naïve to deploy the Blockchain node in the DMZ with a public IP address. By targeting specific nodes, an attacker can influence how consensuses are reached and possibly even halt the Blockchain operation. To provide additional security to the Blockchain nodes. One technique is to filter network traffic, thus implementing a firewall for Blockchain applications. Cisco projects they can provide access control functionality which can effectively mitigate flooding attacks from multiple sources at simultaneously. Share your assessment while visiting us today!
