PurposeThe blockchain system is required for coordinating and managing the information across the organizations. The internal assurance of the information system is under threat and requires a defined and arbitrary system for protective information sharing. The primary analysis of defining and providing the access to the data or information is proposed in this article. The major challenge faced by organizations is providing and maintaining security to the cumulated data infrastructure, protecting the confidential data flow within the infrastructure and to ascertain ethical operations within the organization.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, a top-down approach is utilized to solve the issues faced during confidential data storage, track and alert internal malignant access. The web content management system (WCMS) market is growing and the challenging desideratum of solving security issues are incrementing. This research proposes a top-down security implementation methodology which alters the access control of the organization running the WCMS, it is a highly secure access-control with activity tracker that records who did what activity and who is responsible for malignant access tracker.FindingsThe upgraded access control system is implemented utilizing the most influential blockchain technology where the hash engendered by the Inter Planetary File System (IPFS) cloud is stored on the block to implement a confidential data tracker; a supplemental level of security is integrated to the admin by verifying its account ID by storing it on to the astute contracts and applying two-step authentication. A caliber of security is integrated during storage by integrating RHS encryption.Research limitations/implicationsThis system is proposed for the confidential student data storage (for e.g. educational documents, marks cards etc.) and tracking maleficent access.Originality/valueThe upgraded access control system is implemented using the most influential blockchain technology where the hash generated by the IPFS cloud is stored on the block to implement a confidential data tracker, an additional level of security is added to the admin by verifying its account ID by storing it on to the smart contracts and applying two-step authentication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
