Blockchain for enhancing transparency and trust in government registries

Abstract

In contemporary society, the efficiency and transparency of government registries play a crucial role in ensuring public trust in the government. Using blockchain technology to enhance data protection and transparency offers new opportunities to reduce corruption, protect personal data, and improve the quality of public services. This paper examines blockchain as a tool for creating more reliable and secure government registries. The paper proposes a concept for using blockchain technology to ensure the immutability of records in government registries, transparency of transactions, and enhanced protection of personal data. Key elements of blockchain implementation are discussed, such as ensuring confidentiality, managing data access through smart contracts, and enabling automatic auditing of user actions. Blockchain technology allows for data storage in a distributed system, which prevents unauthorized changes or deletions of information and provides traceability. Smart contracts automate access management processes, allowing for the establishment of clear rules for data interaction in the registry. Additionally, blockchain ensures data integrity through cryptographic mechanisms and audits, increasing trust in government structures. The paper also presents a mathematical model for quantitatively assessing the level of trust and transparency achieved through blockchain technology. Indicators of confidentiality, data reliability, and transparency are defined to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing this technology. The goal of this work is to explore the potential of blockchain technology for enhancing transparency, security, and trust in government registries. The main tasks include analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of blockchain in the context of public administration and developing a mathematical model that quantitatively assesses the effectiveness of this approach in terms of ensuring confidentiality, reliability, and data auditability. The paper also aims to determine the prospects of implementing this technology in government systems and assess its compliance with current personal data protection requirements.
