🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses critical vulnerabilities in existing paper-based and digital document management systems—namely forgery, loss, and unauthorized access—which undermine security, authenticity, and operational efficiency. To overcome these challenges, this work proposes a novel document management architecture that integrates blockchain technology, cryptographic protocols, and decentralized storage. By leveraging decentralized digital notarization, tamper-proof digital signatures, and fine-grained access control mechanisms, the system ensures transparent, secure, and efficient handling of official documents. It simultaneously preserves data integrity and user privacy while significantly enhancing procedural trustworthiness and administrative efficiency. The proposed framework offers a scalable technical paradigm for digital governance and trustworthy document management in increasingly digitized institutional environments.
📝 Abstract
Traditional paper-based document management has long posed challenges related to security, authenticity, and efficiency. Despite advances in digitalization, official documents remain vulnerable to forgery, loss, and unauthorized access. This thesis proposes a decentralized infrastructure for digital notarization, signing, and sharing of documents using blockchain technology. The research addresses key issues of transparency, immutability, and feasibility by defining system requirements, evaluating existing solutions, and proposing a novel architecture based on distributed systems. By combining cryptographic techniques with decentralized storage, this research contributes to the development of a more secure and efficient framework for managing official documents. The findings highlight the potential of blockchain-based digital notarization to streamline bureaucratic processes, mitigate security risks, and enhance user trust in digital document management.
