Building insurance application on Corda Blockchain using Java

Speaker: Shritesh Jamulkar

Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the insurance industry by improving transparency, reducing fraud, and increasing efficiency. Corda, a blockchain platform designed for enterprise use, is an ideal platform for building decentralized insurance applications.

Shritesh provided a comprehensive guide to building an insurance application on the Corda blockchain platform using the Java programming language. He started with an introduction to Corda and its unique features for developing decentralized applications. He then dived deeper into the insurance industry and discuss the challenges that blockchain technology can address, such as claims processing, fraud detection, and compliance. Then he provided a step-by-step guide to building an insurance application on Corda using Java, including the development of smart contracts and the integration of external systems, also covering the use of data privacy techniques such as secure multiparty computation and zero-knowledge proofs for sensitive data.

Additionally, Shritesh discussed the use of oracle services for feeding data into the blockchain, and how these can be used to improve the accuracy and reliability of insurance payouts, and how Corda supports the creation of consortiums, allowing different stakeholders in the insurance industry to work together and share data securely.

Finally, Shritesh showcased a real-world case study of an insurance application built on Corda using Java and the benefits it has brought to the industry.

This talk was ideal for Java developers, insurance professionals, and business leaders who are interested in learning how to leverage blockchain technology for insurance applications on the Corda platform.
