Abstract
The present disclosure relates to securing communication between two organizations (e.g., a purchaser and a third-party supplier) to protect the data for both organizations and to maintain confidentiality. The embodiments herein permit the organizations to keep their sensitive data on their own networks but still share sufficient data to perform simulations and determine interoperability between components, parts, and systems. In one aspect, the organizations have access to a shared blockchain (e.g., a ledger) that permits the organizations to establish smart contracts for testing components, parts, and systems. The smart contracts can include code for spinning up agents that execute in the organizations' networks. These agents can then, according to the defined parameters of the smart contract, share and retrieve data on the blockchain so that the test can be performed.
