## 6 Industrial Efforts to Blockchain-Based Supply Chain Management: Tools
### Efforts against Communication Attacks
#### 6.1.1 Product Provenance and Traceability  
In industries like food and mechanical spare parts, some of the efforts are focused on the establishment of the provenance of a product by recording all its journey-traces. The main purpose of these efforts is to ensure traceability of the product through blockchains by guaranteeing traceable proof of the movement of products. For instance, Everledger [68] is a platform that helps suppliers and retailers to establish evidence of the product-origin, compliance, and sustainability metrics for their diamond products to get trust of conscientious consumers. Consumers have full access to such information on any device. In principle, the Everledger platform is a network to establish stronger trust in diamond trade and supply chain. Based on the blockchain, the platform supports ISO27001-compliant standards-based mechanisms for authentication of services. This enables stakeholders involved in the supply chain process of diamond-trade to ingest and extract secure diamond data, including characteristics, images, videos, invoices, certificates, and other compliance \begin{table}

For suppliers, the platform supports retail buyers in seeking new sources of value, who can be rewarded for their investment in a sustainable and ethical business practices [81]. Furthermore, all of the supply chain data is streamline through an API that enables suppliers to choose the onboarding right-choices. Access control mechanism of the platform allows various involved stakeholders--i.e., suppliers and retailers--to determine different rights for their data on the platform. The platform efficiently manages shared inventory, securely shares visibility of the similar diamond stones with retailers, and trusts that availability is universally updated at the time of ownership-transfer. For retailers, the platform builds a profile around compliance and sustainability that reflects their purchase criteria and protect their brand's reputation through traceable journey of their diamond across the supply chain. The platform also allows retailers to go beyond 4 Cs, i.e., by adding compliance, country, and the cognisance of mining and polishing events as entirely new dimensions of value. The platform provides them greater transparency and visibility to their suppliers. Moreover, they can see overall inventory, sustainability metrics, and diamond-compliance at a glance. It also enables them to confidently assert claims--made by leveraging an immutable audit trail--to substantiate certificate claims with third parties.
