Jieer Xi said, for many developers, integration issues when trying to solve the identity of the system, they will face a "complex and fragile environment, often encounter some border issues", which means a lot of maintenance work, and significant information security risks.
Jieer Xi also said the challenge comes in part from the current application development methods, namely the application of the code "is assembled rather than written."
"This is not to say that work has become less code, but that developers must use the best module instead developed some modules." He noted, "which involves the identity of the service provider through a decentralized distributed data validation . "
