Scotland-based Edinburgh Napier University has announced the official launch of the Blockpass Identity Lab \u2014 the first blockchain identity laboratory in the world.<\/p>\n
This represents the first research facility in Europe that will be entirely dedicated to the research and development of blockchain technology. The aim of it is to explore different new use cases for the technology. The goal is to find new methods of applying this for protecting personal information online.<\/p>\n

New Effort to Achieve a Greater Understanding of Blockchain Technology<\/h2>\n
The laboratory is a result of a collaboration of Edinburgh Napier University and Blockpass IDN, an identity application firm based on blockchain technology that originates from Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
The two have entered a three-year partnership, which will also ensure funding for the research staff, virtualized blockchain environment, as well as five PhD students. Additionally, the facility plans to especially focus on some key challenges regarding identity, as well as on creating new data infrastructures that would respect users\u2019 rights and privacy.<\/p>\n
Kate Forbes, digital economy minister for Scotland, commented on the development by saying that this is an exciting move, especially since the new technology can bring much more protection to personal data on the internet.<\/p>\n

Data Breaches Are Growing Around the World<\/h2>\n
Of course, a lot of data breaches<\/a> that have been reported recently are mostly U.S.-focused.<\/p>\n
