A Novel Methodology to Ensure Data Integrity in Enterprise Information Systems Using Blockchain Technology

Data integrity is one of the most important issues in information management systems. Periodic database auditing is the only way to ensure data integrity. Blockchain is a technology that supports and employs a variety of cryptographic models. Initially, the Blockchain technology was developed as a methodology to record cryptocurrency transactions (bitcoin technology). Additionally, blockchain has the potential to transform the current data auditing practices in a decentralized manner. In this paper, we make an attempt to review the application of blockchain in an enterprise information management system and explore closely on how to incorporate blockchain technology in CampusStack, an integrated information management system, to audit the database for ensuring data integrity.
