Stop messing with certificates

Well cool. Good for you?

Take our current medical records keeping system for example I have to keep the original signed medical certificate. Even though there is a digitized copy at my employer. If I lose the original signed certificate I can't work until I get another one. If you lose it in the first 3 months you can't get a replacement.

If everything was on blockchain all my certificates and records could be accessed immediately. No chance of fraud or tampering. I could just show the FAA examiner a bar code and he could see the records that were relevant to their privilege level.

Instead I have to keep original copies of everything in a bag that I can't lose on close to a thousand hours of traveling a year.

But we can be nostalgic about tailwheels or something and that makes sense?

You'd hate going through customs with Global Entry. A machine takes my photo and the officer sees all my records. I don't even have to show my silly outdated and extremely problematic passport.

Again it should be by blockchain. Encrypted. No fraud. Everyone is identified.

I have global entry. It’s fantastic. But let the government do their job.

What? What does this mean? You love Global Entry but you want the FAA to go back to paper certificates? Why not advocate for the SSN being your airman number again, while we are pushing for incredibly bad ideas?

Happy with that. I like GE for the convenience.

The block chain has no relevance. If the FAA says it isn’t broken don’t fix it.

People seriously need to stop peddling "blockchain" where it is completely unnecessary and inefficient.

Blockchains are not a database replacement.

It's a way to make the database secure and accessible to those with the correct keys to the encryption. I could present the FAA inspector with a QR code that showed all of my documents were up to date and correct and he could have access to those digital documents. Instead I keep a paper copy of my medical even though my employer has a digital copy on file.

Blockchain is not a database. It is a ledger system that cannot be edited after the fact thus causing potential issues. For example with revoked certificates and other things.

You need a proper database so it can be dynamic.
 
However a certificate is immediately, physically, revocable nor requires internet access.

This will be my third or fourth iteration of the licenses, each got a little better and I became more and more indifferent about the changes.
