Blockchain Technology in the Public Sector by Leveraging the Triumvirate of Security

Abstract

Blockchain technology has become a trend in various sectors, both industrial and public sectors. There have been many questions regarding this blockchain technology in terms of competition in the public sector. Mainly among these are the concerns that become issues around governance and control in distributed ledgers. From an information security point of view this article investigates the influence of blockchain technology on public domain processes. It contains an outline of the development of the provision of public services and one-way information by the government to the community, the exchange of information and communication between the public and the government through the current blockchain application, and the current development of blockchain technology. We use a triad, Confidentiality-Integrity-Accessibility to guide our discussion of the interrelationships of security, operation, and regulation of this generation. By leveraging the triad model, we offer a framework for public managers who may also be able to recommend blockchain technology, and we observe the positive benefits that arise from the denial of a distributed ledger. In particular, we look at the benefits of blockchain technology which has to do with disclaimers to help public managers understand how to leverage blockchain generation for an application process.
