A blockchain based framework for information system integrity

Abstract

A blockchain based system integrity (BCSI) framework for assuring the integrity of information system processes is presented. BCSI is well suited for a broad class of large scale real-world information systems. Under the BCSI framework, the integrity of any information system I is assured by executing the finite state machine model for system I processes in a blockchain network. The BCSI framework is compared and contrasted with the Clark-Wilson (CW) system integrity model, and existing blockchain based frameworks like Ethereum.
