With the development of the information technology age, interaction between people who previously would never cross paths in an entire lifetime has become a regular occurrence. As society steadily transfers activities once done via physical processes to data interactions using computer systems, new challenges are presented when initiating digital exchange with remote untrusted actors. This trend, often referred to as Digital Transformation, has grown in recent years as organizations depart from any physical document records or work processes into an entirely digital presence. Digital Transformation relies on an ability to interact digitally with remote actors; thus, methods of establishing remote trust for digital operation are essential. Distributed Ledger technologies popularized by the application of Blockchain in cryptocurrencies provide a promising notion of technology that offers an intermediary capability for untrusted actors to verify each other. However, the application of distributed ledger at scale has shown a number of difficulties regarding resource requirements and performance, ultimately restricting the economic feasibility of the technology in otherwise opportune use cases.This work evaluates the use of trust distribution and potential frameworks that may lead to a scalable and sustainable approach using distributed ledger technology. Efforts initially evaluated legacy distributed ledger platforms and industry research to garner a valid set of limiting factors manifested across the multiple available platforms. Many existing mechanisms and methods used for distributed ledgers were evaluated to determine if a current technology could be leveraged with augmentations that could overcome identified limitations. In addition, the most practical features of various platforms identified by evaluation were contrasted and analyzed for the best set of features. Analysis of the problem set led to the identification of a novel framework that would be more sustainable and scalable than legacy platforms.The ultimate objective sought to implement an approach to providing an underlying trust infrastructure that could serve to connect many existing applications implementing cybersecurity and privacy operations in the digital age. Similar desires by individuals, across organizations, and by government institutions aligned support for this work from legislation, partnerships with professional organizations, and participation by community developers. The highly idealistic drive to enable digital-age capability for individuals to protect their data assets is an underlying motivation for this work. This publication is provided as a reference to the novel architectural approaches and frameworks implemented by the associated research. It provides both an academic reference to the evaluation of results obtained and a reference for interested distributed ledger enthusiasts, community practitioners, or organizational analysts reviewing potential applications for distributed ledger technology.The work reviews the findings related to the objectives identified as required for the optimization of the distributed ledger: 1) Present a scalable architecture including Integration of Security and Privacy Features, 2) Introduction of a framework for Programmatic Governance, 3) Implement and evaluation of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with potential to resolve technical limitations for large scale operations. The review expands to offer the potential for resolution to several issues presented to overcome social opposition to adoption, resolution of technology limitations to scaling, and potential elimination of economic hindrances to programmatic adoption.The evaluations presented were conducted using measurements collected directly from performance of system components of community-sourced projects initiated for this research. A Scale Model was designed which compiled exact data set and utilized algorithms to summate the size of data resources needed on each individual ecosystem participant system. Timing Models used directly measured timespan values inserted into cumulative algorithms which calculated operational timing projections across distributed operations at future maturity levels of the envisioned distributed ledger ecosystem. Results demonstrate the need for individual system resources over the lifetime of the ecosystem, performance of sub-components collected from system operations, and large-scale operational timing estimated for a potential ecosystem commissioning the proposed architecture.This work put forth technology optimization comprising a novel distributed ledger consisting of multiple loosely coupled chains persisting across an ecosystem, reducing the need for transaction persistence on all nodes. The new ecosystem design combines with novel consensus advances that depart from the use of computationally intensive algorithms and enact a trust-reliant approach. Methods of governance and administrative control for the overall ecosystem were integrated directly into the consensus model. Results evaluated the loose coupling and limited scope of data persistence offered by sub-dividing the distributed ledger into synchronous groups, while assessing the manageability of ecosystem-wide overhead data. The proposed framework exhibits the potential of scaling to anticipated usage levels based on projected growth while utilizing currently available equipment over the modeled adoption period.
