If you flew Singapore Airlines, Japan Airlines, ANA, Korean Air, Asiana or Cathay Pacific in the last three years, someone may have read your booking. These airlines use Amadeus for reservation services. Singapore Airlines says about 46,000 booking records may have been affected. Its own IT systems weren't breached. The exposure happened at its provider. Customers of different airlines had their information exposed through the same company. What if the booking system ran on #Holochain? Holochain allows applications to work through records held by their participants, without a central database containing the whole application's history. Each participant keeps a signed history, and computers in the network check shared records against the app's rules. A reservation system can be built around passengers and airlines exchanging the information they need, without putting different airlines' booking histories into one shared central store. That removes the need for the common collection point involved in this breach. App bugs and stolen credentials would still be risks. But collecting so many people's records behind one provider is a design choice, and Holochain gives us another way to build. #WhatIfItRanOnHolochain #1
