Blaž Kostanjšek (2017) Using Blockchain to Provide Confidentiality and Data Integrity in Existing Systems. MSc thesis.
Abstract
When it comes to confidentiality and data integrity, in traditional systems users always need to trust central authorities. The arrival of first crypto-currencies and the rapid increase in use of blockchains on non-financial areas opens the possibility of a new approach to solving this problem. In this work, we propose a new way of providing confidentiality and data integrity based on blockchain, which does not require a trusted central authority. We gradually develop an idea of solution and then make a proof of concept by implementing the proposed solution. Considering the limitations of the implemented solution we also evaluate where the integration of implemented solution might be reasonable.
