Current Standards Needs


 

P3201 Standard for Blockchain Access Control

The access control mechanism is a core requirement for blockchain systems, especially for the permissioned blockchain systems. Reasonable access control requirements are necessary to make blockchain systems secure and controllable.

 

P3208 Standard for Blockchain-based Digital Asset Exchange Model

Currently, valuable blockchain-based digital assets are scattered across multiple blockchain networks that belong to a large number of different users. A standard is needed to support a convenient and secure exchange model to enable the implementation of exchange of assets and avoid related security risks.

 

P3214 Standard for Testing Specification of Blockchain Systems

Most blockchain project testing is limited to code vulnerability testing, functional testing and performance testing. The open source nature of blockchain code, uncontrolled update iteration speed, and inconsistent industry standards provide challenges for implementer and testers. A standard is needed to provide an industry specification for required blockchain tests and testing methods.

 

P3216 Standard for Blockchain Service Capability Evaluation

The blockchain industry is transforming from application exploration to industry practice. However, blockchain service providers have no standards to follow to provide a normative and high-quality service, and customers also have no standards to use to evaluate blockchain service capabilities. Use of a standardized evaluation system is needed to support further growth of the blockchain industry.

 

P3220 Guide for the Application of Non-Fungible Token (NFT) Based Digital Asset

Large scale commercial application of NFTs is not possible without a common understanding of the end to end processes that are used. When various industries apply NFT technology, they all need the joint participation of multiple related enterprises in the industrial chain.
