Factom now working with Japan Social Security

Kaula Incorporated, a blockchain platform today announced that Kaula and Atrris Co., Ltd., who has been developing personnel, payment, accounting, and medical logistics systems, have agreed to jointly develop a “usage record management system” against data involved in the above applications using the Factom blockchain.

Using this system, users can retain authenticity and tamper resistance of log records generated when the Japanese social security system’s data is processed – when information is added, updated, deleted or retrieved in mission-critical applications.

Kaula and Atrris will also jointly promote further business around the “usage record management system.”
