“…The security of data shared and stored in the network due to immutability of DLTs makes them invaluable to many industries including SC. Furthermore, Sharma et al [43] explains consensus mechanism as the decision making process which promotes and ensures fairness and equal opportunities in distributed networks whilst Saini et al [44] describes it as integrity maintaining algorithm. Shahaab et al [3] debate that it is difficult to achieve consensus in distributed systems as the protocols must be resilient to failure, network partitions, message delays, ordering and corruption.…”

“…The security and privacy of information across the entire SC networks are necessary for ensuring the supply of authentic quality goods and services, protection of trade and sensitive information, intellectual properties, copyrights, brand reputation, fraud prevention and anti-counterfeit measures. Zhang et al [18], Salman et al [35], Saini et al [44], Nalavade et al [20] and Epiphaniou et al [5] explain that with astronomical amount of data being produced and the speed of technological advancement, it is imperative to afford the maximum information security to the SC data in order to ensure their CIA at all times. Sudhan et al [83] state that "the unique nature of BC ensures the CIA of data stored and accessed in a decentralized manner".…”

“…Decentralization enables permissionless DLT-based systems to operate effectively and efficiently without centralized authorities. The data is also stored across multiple locations, removing the dependencies of any particular user, single point of failure, for the flow of information [11], [76], [44], [46]. This improves data availability, ensuring data is available to users in real-time, helping with the fulfilment of orders and relationship management.…”

Exploring the factors affecting the adoption of blockchain technology in the supply chain and logistic industry

“…Different sectors such as governments, healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, and supply chain have developed and tested the blockchain models. Blockchain technology is known as a technology that runs cryptocurrency; it is a public ledger system, which maintains the integrity of data (Saini et al 2019). According to Yli-Huumo et al (2016:5), blockchain technology was first introduced as the application platform that supports Bitcoin cryptocurrency.…”
