Application of blockchain technologies for secure information management
Marek R. Ogiela, Lidia Ogiela · 2018
In this paper will be presented new opportunities for developing innovative solutions based on blockchain technologies in creation of new data management algorithms, especially those focused on the distribution and processing of data in layered structures, where independent instances can fully control and verify all operations. Later an attempt will be made to generalize protocols, which will be proposed for management activities, towards their extension and the possibility of using them in hierarchical structures. Blockchain technology should enable the development of decentralized management protocols that will allow complete verifiability of all operations by all authorized parties that can collect, process and transmit such information. In practice such protocols will give the opportunity to create an effective and secure data sharing protocols in structures, where all authorized entities are equal and can independently verify the type of operations and instances that process such data.
