E-discovery work and blockchain typically sit at odds with one another. While blockchain derives its security from total transparency, preserving data across a permanent distributed ledger, e-discovery aims to preserve security through confidentiality, cordoning off data to only those authorized to view it.
A new partnership from e-discovery group iCONECT and digital encryption group Leonovus is hoping to bridge the disconnect between the two technologies to bolster security within e-discovery. The two companies executed a letter of intent this week to partner in developing new blockchain-based tools for use in iCONECT’s e-discovery platforms.
