Supporting Prostitutes Protection Act through DLT

Abstract

This paper presents the use case of digitizing health certificates of prostitutes. It is shown that a centralized approach lacks trust in privacy by the prostitutes as well as not sufficient actions to ensure the integrity of digital health certificates. To counter these short comings, it is evaluated if a blockchain/distributed ledger technology approach should be considered. Based on this discussion, an evaluation of Ethereum Hyperledger Fabric and IOTA is presented, stating that IOTA matches the use case requirements the best. Therefore, an IOTA based architecture for digital health certificates of prostitutes is presented and discussed.
