    澳大利亚在区块链领域占据一席之地——澳大利亚标准局公布《区块链标准路线图》

    By King & Wood

    作者:Scott Farrell、Claire Warren、Max Allan及Henry Wells。金杜律师事务所悉尼办公室 澳大利亚标准局3月2日公布了《区块链标准路线图》。该路线图标志着澳大利亚开始走在国际标准领域的前沿,并引领国际标准。 为区块链标准首要任务建立全国统一定位,并帮助行业、消费者及市场使用和应用区块链技术树立信心,特别是在金融服务、政府及供应链管理领域 (特别是农业),路线图迈出了重要的一步。在澳大利亚境外,路线图有助于建立国际标准,使跨境及跨行业领域使用这项新技术更为便捷。这份路线图的出台非常及时——澳大利亚将于2017年4月举行首届区块链标准国际大会。 如果您的业务涉及区块链或分布式账本技术,有意涉足该领域或只是想了解这项技术,这份路线图能为您在这个发展迅速的行业中提供关键性导航。本次推送中,我们将为您简单介绍该路线图披露的信息及其意义。 点击这里获取澳大利亚标准局提供的区块链标准路线图副本,标准局的媒体发布内容可在此处获取。 如果您还不了解区块链,我们在此对其有详细说明,并且您还可以点击这里了解我们对使用该技术的进一步分析。 为什么澳大利亚是区块链标准方面的领袖? 澳大利亚正逐渐成为区块链技术开发领域的国际领袖之一。 这很大程度上得益于私营行业中开展的重要工作,如探索以区块链取代澳大利亚证交所和数字资产公司的主要股市结算系统 (更多详情请见此)。政府部门的研究,如由澳大利亚政府的先锋数据科技机构(澳大利亚联邦科工组织的分部Data 61)进行的一项战略前瞻研究,及该技术使用案例也有很大贡献也(更多信息请点击这里,即将发布中期报告) 。正如澳大利亚财长在近期二十国峰会(链接请点击这里)上所言,澳洲在追求这方面技术进步的道路上势头强劲。 在这样的背景下,澳大利亚标准局在国际区块链标准领域扮演的领先角色便容易理解了。2016年4月,澳大利亚标准局提议,国际标准化组织(ISO) 应该成立一个新的国际技术委员会,为区块链和电子分布式账本技术设立标准。该新设立委员会将通过交互运作、术语、隐私、安全及审计等区块链标准话题,负责对创新和竞争给予支持。该提议于2016年9月通过(请点击这里查看我们的推送),成立了一个新的技术委员会 (ISO TC 307),任命澳大利亚标准局管理秘书处, 并任命Craig Dunn先生(同时也担任澳洲政府金融技术顾问集团主席)为该国际委员会的主席。目前ISO TC 307委员会有33个成员国,包括:德国、英国、日本、俄罗斯、法国、新加坡、中国、美国等。 澳大利亚标准局和其他澳洲政府及私营机构正在酝酿项目将帮助澳大利亚和澳洲商业界设计、开发并建立支持全球区块链技术部署的国际标准。正如澳大利亚财政部长斯科特·莫里森(Hon. Scott Morrison MP)在路线图发布会上所言:“分布式账本技术有潜力重构国际商品和服务贸易,使金融交易更高效更安全”并且“澳大利亚是制定区块链标准方面的领导,这有利于稳固我们作为分布式账本技术国际中心的地位”。…
