US Space Force Major Jason Lowery advocates for the U.S. Defense
Innovation Board to explore Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work transaction
validation mechanism as a tool to fortify national security.
“Addressing
this could be vital for the US to maintain its positions as a global
superpower and leader among nations, especially in an increasingly
digital and interconnected world plagued by security vulnerabilities,”
he noted.
In his proposal, Lowery draws parallels between Proof-of-Work and physical security tactics employed in conventional military contexts.
He
asserts that Bitcoin's underlying technology has the potential to
safeguard various types of data and messages, thereby contributing
substantially to cybersecurity efforts.
