Every person in the world needs documents that prove their identity, graduation from the university, residence, marriage, and other essential records that must be safely handled. The credibility of the documents depends on the stamp seal imprints found in them belonging to the government entity, the source of the credibility. But recently, with the rapid development of technology, the number of forged documents and forged stamp seals imprints has increased tremendously, which has led to significant security and social problems. Most of the world's governments depend on securing documents by securing stamp seal imprints through using Ultra Violets inks and issuing them through a centralized environment, which contains many challenges and problems. Central repositories may have security issues such as a single point of failure challenge, data unavailability due to central system failures, or a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Therefore, this paper will present a proposal that solves the challenges in electronic systems (complete digitalization) and paper systems (partial digitalization). This manuscript proposes a smart securing model to secure stamp seal imprints by encrypting data with stamp seal image of the seal and storing it as a block through the decentralized Blockchain platform. After that, a quick response code (QR) is created to access that block quickly and securely. Also, the stamp seal's hash image and the details of the stamp seal's data source in the blockchain provide a shared, immutable, and transparent history of the stamp seals without relying on any third party. After several experiments, the results proved an accuracy and security rate of stamp seals and documents that reached 98%, with a high retrieval speed. Thus, a safe, fast, and non-changeable environment was provided to retrieve necessary information and ensure its authenticity.

“…Pengbin Han et al in [23] provide a digital copyright certificate storage and trading alliance chain system based on fabric, and it gains a good performance in tamper-proof, copyright traceability, short registration time, and low cost. In [24], Dubai Economic Department(DED) build a system on the Hyperledger Fabric(v1.1) for the alignment of the business registry and unifying licensing processes and they plan to extend this implementation to include license consumers in the next phase. [25] develops a blockchain certificate system on the Ethereum platform, but they only store the serial number of the certificate in the blockchain.…”

The Notarial Office in E-government: A Blockchain-Based Solution

et al. 2021

The Notarial Office(NO), working on providing various essential certificates, still relies on manual handling and requires paper materials from other government departments. That brings lots of inconvenience. The Notarial Office rejects non-local paper materials for their lower credibility in the local place and then cannot provide cross-borders services. It also easily cause sensitive information leakage as copies of paper materials have been stored. In this case, a blockchain-based system is suitable to address challenges in this scenario because of its advantages (e.g, decentralized, immutability, transparency, auditability). We implemented this system on top of the Hyperledger Fabric. Moreover, we replace manual operations with smart contracts, set extra ledgers to off-load different types of transactions and provide encryption for private information when needed. In the end, we get an expected result. That is, the modification outperformed the unmodified network in experiments.

The Use of Blockchain Technology in e-Government Services

2021

e-Government services have evolved significantly over the last decade, from a paper-based bureaucratic procedure to digital services. Electronically processed transactions require limited physical interaction with the public administration, and provide reduced response times, increased transparency, confidentiality and integrity. Blockchain technology enhances many of the above properties as it facilitates immutability and transparency for the recorded transactions and can help establish trust among participants. In this paper, we conduct a literature review on the use of blockchain technology in e-government applications to identify e-government services that can benefit from the use of blockchains, types of technologies that are chosen for the proposed solutions, and their corresponding maturity levels. The aim is to demonstrate blockchain’s potential and contribution to the field, provide useful insights to governments who are considering investing in this innovative technology, and facilitate researchers in their future activities in blockchain-enabled e-government services.
