China's first set of blockchain evaluation standards enters the testing stage

On February 22, 2017, the "China UnionPay & Tongji University - Blockchain Evaluation Project Conference" was successfully held at Tongji University. Professor Ma Xiaofeng, deputy director of the Data and Network Security Research Center of Tongji University, and Zhou Yu, head of the blockchain of the National Engineering Laboratory for Electronic Commerce and Electronic Payment (China UnionPay), co-hosted the conference.

The blockchain evaluation standard program jointly launched by the National Engineering Laboratory for Electronic Commerce and Electronic Payment (China UnionPay) and Tongji University was jointly developed by both parties, and consists of two parts: general blockchain evaluation standards applicable to various industries and blockchain evaluation standards specifically for the financial industry. The general blockchain evaluation system mainly includes three main aspects of verification testing, performance testing and security testing, and 36 specific test items; the blockchain evaluation system for the financial industry mainly evaluates the maturity of blockchain software from 9 aspects such as functionality, security, scalability, and interoperability, and sets 34 test items and 114 evaluation indicators, and designs a financial industry evaluation business scenario. The deployment environment of this program is mainly based on the construction of the blockchain infrastructure cloud platform, and the cloud platform is used to realize the integration of review, debugging, and evaluation. At present, the entire set of blockchain evaluation standard programs has been completed, and the evaluation of related projects in the Shanghai Blockchain Innovation Sandbox has begun.

The Shanghai Blockchain Innovation Sandbox was initiated and established by 10 units including Tongji University, Shanghai International Finance Institute, China Foreign Exchange Trade System, Bank of Shanghai, Ouye Financial (Baowu Steel Group), Ant Cloud Finance, Wanda Network Technology, National Engineering Laboratory for E-Commerce and Electronic Payment (China UnionPay), Wallet Financial and Shanghai Cloud Computing Innovation Base.

Shanghai Boweifeng Software Technology Co., Ltd. (51testing), Beijing Haopu Information Technology Co., Ltd., and Leiying Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. provided technical support for the research and development and construction of the evaluation standard solution.
