Introducing TITANIUM (Tools for the Investigation of Transactions in Underground Markets)

A group of 15 consortium partners from seven European countries, including Trilateral Research from the UK, have initiated a new project, called TITANIUM, to curtail criminals and attackers from using blockchain technology to avoid law detection, while at the same time respecting the privacy rights of legitimate users. Blockchain technology is an electronic ledger under decentralised control, which allows it to evade traditional investigative measures. Trilateral will be responsible for a task on a privacy + ethical impact assessment (P+EIA) and a work package on dissemination, exploitation and communications.
