Abstract
With the development of information technology and network technology, digital archive management systems have been widely used in archive management. Different from the inherent uniqueness and strong tamper-proof modification of traditional paper archives, electronic archives are stored in centralized databases which face more risks of network attacks, data loss, or stealing through malicious software and are more likely to be forged and tampered by internal managers or external attackers. The management of intangible cultural heritage archives is an important part of intangible cultural heritage protection. Because intangible heritage archives are different from traditional official archives, traditional archive management methods cannot be fully applied to intangible heritage archives’ management. This study combines the characteristics of blockchain technology with distributed ledgers, consensus mechanisms, encryption algorithms, etc., and proposes intangible cultural heritage file management based on blockchain technology for the complex, highly dispersed, large quantity, and low quality of intangible cultural heritage files. Optimizing methods, applying blockchain technology to the authenticity protection of electronic archives and designing and developing an archive management system based on blockchain technology, help to solve a series of problems in the process of intangible cultural heritage archives management.
Highlights
Culture cannot be abridged to the tangible items as it is living and continuously evolving and essentially is composed of the elements that represent the living culture of humans, referred to as “intangible cultural heritage.” is includes the various aspects of cultural heritage such as traditions and living expressions inherited from ancestors and covers a wide range of cultural values and norms such as arts, social practices, rituals, beliefs, and events [1]
The development of intangible cultural heritage management systems at home and abroad has been relatively mature, but the existing digital intangible cultural heritage management systems cannot solve the problem of data tampering from inside and outside the system in a better way. erefore, the security and stability of the intangible cultural heritage management system and its protection against any kind of malicious attacks and intrusions have become the focus of attention in this field
After fully investigating the relevant materials of intangible cultural heritage management systems and blockchain technology, this paper proposes a plan to protect intangible cultural heritage through blockchain technology. e main contributions of this research work are the following: (1) We designed and implemented a RESTful server and provided a data interaction interface for the users
Summary
Culture cannot be abridged to the tangible items as it is living and continuously evolving and essentially is composed of the elements that represent the living culture of humans, referred to as “intangible cultural heritage.” is includes the various aspects of cultural heritage such as traditions and living expressions inherited from ancestors and covers a wide range of cultural values and norms such as arts, social practices, rituals, beliefs, and events [1]. With the development of computer technology and the improvement of economic levels across the world, different data intangible cultural heritage management systems have been widely used in the management of intangible cultural heritage. E traditional intangible cultural heritage management methods such as using paper archives have the disadvantages of slow search speed and complicated management process. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that is decentralized, does not require trust, and has strong anticalculation modification [3]. It uses a variety of computer technologies such as cryptography, probability theory, consensus mechanisms, and distributed networks.
