Cloud Based Data Integrity model for Minimal Human Intervention using Smart Contracts

Abstract

Food and education are a necessity in our lives, where a part of the people still hasn't had a square meal for the day and almost a quarter of them are illiterate. The Mid-Day Meal Scheme provided the right platform for the underprivileged children for their education as well as their daily nutrition and wellbeing. But later some unethical individuals started using this scheme for their personal gains. Findings reveal that although monitoring mechanisms are present, they are manually driven which gives space for fraudulent activities and malpractices. The proposed concept aims at an automated system that requires minimal intervention and increased scalability and security levels. These features are achieved through the means of blockchain and biometrics, which provide immutability and high levels of security. This solution is cloud-based, requiring minimal human intervention. Thus, it makes traceability and accountability easy.
