Management of User Groups and Member Authorization with Various Access Rights on the Ethereum Blockchain

Abstract

Distributed applications based on the Ethereum blockchain have a great advantage in the analysis of the history of group work and the contribution factor to a group project of each group member. In these applications, multiple users share resources and their histories together in a robust way thanks to the characteristics of the blockchain that is practically impossible to be forged or modified. However, there has not yet been developed a scheme for providing a systematic management scheme of a group of users or authentication of the members of the group to allow the members to use shared resources through various access rights.
