Zero-Knowledge End-to-End privacy within a FileChain ledger allows two or many actors onboarded on that ledger to share any data with each other while no other actor on that same ledger and no organization running any of the node can have access to this information in any way.

This zero-knowledge sharing model and access to on-chain data is strictly controlled by cryptography, not by code nor by policy.

In a decentralized system, transparency guarantees that all actors on a ledger are able to verify that all relevant transactions are legitimate and actually present.

But transparency does not mean anyone can access the content of any transaction as only the authorized actors can access the content of each specific transaction.

The FileChain platform is based on blockchain principles and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). 

Asymetric cryptography refers to a public key, associated with a cryptographic identity, which is widely shared over a ledger while the private key part of that same cryptographic identity is never shared with anyone.

Digital signatures at FileChain rely on such asymetric cryptography to verify the irrefutable strict authenticity of every single transaction before it is even considered for inclusion into a decentralized ledger.

Irrefutable and strict authenticity is fondamental to enable digital trust.

The FileChain platform is based on blockchain principles and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). 

The immutability of a blockchain means that the timestamp associated with each transaction becomes final and a definitive timestamp once that transaction is validated and inserted permanently within a FileChain ledger.

Definite timestamping is fondamental to enable digital trust.

A FileChain ledger is a unique offering on the market today because its combines on-chain storage with zero-knowledge privacy so any actor can directly self-audit all relevant transactions from the shared ledger itself at any point in time in the future.

This "day-to-day" repository ledger used for production remains  the same exact repository used to compile compliance and audit reports, eliminating by design any reconciliation and costly mismatch.

The ability to onboard effortlessly new actors into a consortium is fundamental to grow by network effect. Hence, decentralization and interoperability are closely interconnected.

FileChain supports many connectors, industry standards, EDI messages and common data models to streamline interactions and transactions between all actors for maximum interoperability.

Also FileChain reference implementation is JAVA based with REST APIs to ease integration with existing information systems and FileChain “footprint” has always been kept extremely small by design to easily be embedded into autonomous systems with limited computing resources. 

The FileChain platform is based on permissioned ledgers to eliminate all well-known scalability limitations of public blockchains. Also the  FileChain technology does not impose any specific hosting requirement.

Each FileChain ledger can run within any environment to unleash excellent scaling capabilities for each deployment. Many instances of the FileChain nodes run by multiple organizations can run the ledger to guarantee an always-on model.

Each FileChain agent can manage many cryptographic identities and actors to offer  excellent horizontal scaling.

Finally, each FileChain ledger enables very natural "sharding" of the data domain with the possibility of running multiple sub-ledgers instead of one to meet the scalability and performance requirements of any large enterprise-grade, industry-wide deployment.

Immutability refers to the ability for a FileChain ledger to detect with cryptographic guarantees if anyone tries to alter any past transaction already approved and validated within a FileChain ledger.

Immutability or the no-rewrite rule  is fondamental to enable digital trust.
