The Hydrogen platform allows enterprises and developers globally to prototype, build, test, and deploy sophisticated financial technology applications and products. Hydro is a new component that brings blockchain-based capabilities to the Hydrogen ecosystem and beyond.
Hydro enables new and existing private systems to seamlessly integrate and leverage the dynamics of a public blockchain for functional use cases surrounding application security, identity management, document management, transaction processing, and artificial intelligence. The Hydro technology stack broadly allows for the establishment of hybrid systems, which are fundamentally private but augmented with the advantages of a public ledger to achieve greater decentralization, transparency, and immutability.
This paper introduces Hydro and explores the initial use case – an authentication layer involving a public blockchain that can act as a supplement to existing off-chain authentication protocols. The proposed framework is called Raindrop and it seeks to provide additional security for sensitive data that is increasingly at risk of compromise.
The Raindrop framework consists of two main components: Server-Side Raindrop and Client-Side Raindrop. The former adds an authentication layer to large-scale systems including data lakes, enterprise softwares, APIs, administrative portals, and more, while the latter adds a layer of security to consumer-facing facets of an application or platform.
