Blockchain has been praised for providing the technical infrastructure that enables a group of self-interested entities to share data without relying on intermediaries. Technically, blockchain is a distributed and decentralized append-only database. This latter aspect leads to an important, yet overlooked governance issue, namely what should the network members do when erroneous or malicious data are added to the blockchain ledger? We start by describing three public cases when the above happened. For each case, we elaborate on the adopted solution, which we refer to as the “rollback,” the “do nothing,” and the “overturn” solution. Drawing from these previous cases, discussions with experts, and from our own experience with blockchain research and development, we provide suggestions concerning managerial, technical, and information security policies and practices organizations should follow when contemplating enterprise-level applications of the blockchain technology.

当好的区块变坏时:管理不需要的区块链数据

区块链因其提供的技术基础架构而受到赞誉,该技术基础架构使一群自利的实体无需依赖中介即可共享数据。从技术上讲,区块链是一个分布式的分散式仅附加数据库。后一个方面导致了一个重要但仍被忽视的治理问题,即当将错误或恶意数据添加到区块链分类账中时,网络成员应该怎么做?我们首先描述发生上述情况时的三个公共案例。对于每种情况,我们都会详细说明所采用的解决方案,我们将其称为“回滚”,“不执行任何操作”和“翻转”解决方案。根据以往的案例,与专家的讨论以及我们自己在区块链研究和开发中的经验,我们提供有关管理,技术,
