Manufacturing supply chains are increasingly critical to maintaining the health, security, and the economic strength of the United States. As supply chains supporting Critical Infrastructure become more complex and the origins of products become harder to discern, efforts are emerging that improve traceability of goods by exchanging traceability data records using distributed ledger and other blockchain related technologies. Recent events and current economic conditions exposed the impact of disruptions in the security and continuity of the U.S. national manufacturing supply chain. This in turn, drew critical attention to the need to illuminate and secure the supply chain from numerous hazards and risks. Further, the U.S. manufacturing supply chain is susceptible to logistical disruptions, in addition to the effects of nefarious actors seeking fraudulent gain or attempting to sabotage or corrupt manufactured products. Improving the traceability of goods and materials that flow through the manufacturing supply chain may help mitigate these risks. This project will continue building on ongoing NCCoE efforts to demonstrate the role that blockchain related technologies may play to improve manufacturing supply chain traceability and integrity by exploring several use cases and the issues surrounding implementing supply chain traceability and will result in a freely available NIST Cybersecurity publication.
