DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jason Rupe will outline several use cases and mention some 
 work in the cable industry relating to distributed ledger technology (DLT)
 \, with a focus on blockchain. He will also discuss the various activities
  under way in the IEEE Blockchain Initiative (BCI)\, which you can partici
 pate in\, and which brings opportunities for research and development in D
 LT. The talk will be part of the CU-Boulder Technology\, Cybersecurity and
  Policy (TCP) Program seminar series. A COMSOC chapter meet and greet pizz
 a dinner will follow this talk.\n\nBlockchain is a decentralized\, transpa
 rent and trusted database\, defined as part of the Distributed Ledger Tech
 nology (DLT) framework\, and considered as an enabling technology of new I
 T enterprise systems and applications. Blockchain in Telecommunications is
  a new powerful concept that can tremendously improve telecom networking o
 perations and customer-facing processes experience\, adding a new layer of
  authentication\, validation and security for all telecom assets and trans
 actions.\n\n[Blockchain Use Cases in the Cable Industry (Dr. Jason Rupe)](
