3.9—Twine: Distributed Time-Ordered Cryptographic Ledgers

Patented blockchain-based software developed and currently used by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and CU Boulder to build the first random number generator using quantum entanglement. This technology entangles distinct blockchains together to verify the sequence and authenticity of data. Potential applications include deepfake detection, secure transaction history for the legal and financial sectors, and gaming and cryptographic applications that require verifiable randomness.

Inventor: Krister Shalm (NIST)

Potential Applications: Cybersecurity​, Information Technology, Software
