Abstract

The traditional way of selling and buying land has lots of problems exists as its takes time, the verification process is lengthy and final processing is also time-consuming. With the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), the records are converted from file to digital.

During the buying or selling process, different middlemen exist at various levels which makes the process complex and risky.

To eliminate the above challenges in this paper Blockchain-based approach is applied to make the land record management system secure. The paper initially described the overall challenges that exist in the land record system in the India scenario. The authors in this paper proposed a Secure distributed architecture for land record management. Ethereum platform is used for the implementation of the land record digitization. The results analysis show that the system becomes faster, transparent, records are immutable by the use of Blockchain technology.
