Securing E-Governance System for Digital Documents Verification and Validation using Blockchain

Abstract

In an era where data integrity and secure verification are paramount, especially in sectors such as governance, healthcare and education, traditional centralized document verification systems fall short due to vulnerabilities like single points of failure, limited traceability, and lack of accountability. This study proposes a LRDDV (A layered Ledger approach for Robust Digital Documents Verification system using blockchain) model to create a multi-level method for verifying documents. This would solve these issues. It adds a lightweight consensus model that is led by validators and a way to lock information based on role to do this. People who have jobs at different hierarchy levels can add information to papers more quickly. This makes sure that the changes are safe and can be made all the way through. If 51 % of validators agree on something, it works like a real board of directors. It makes people trust each other and be open without having to do mining, which takes a lot of resources. It works better, costs less, and is easier to keep track of than centralized models, according to tests especially useful for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) as well as for government sector. Right now, things work fine in a controlled environment. Although, in the future, it will be safer and more scalable because it will be connected to group blockchain systems, use self-sovereign identification standards, and have built-in zero- knowledge proofs. The suggested answer allows document checking to happen in public places with lots of people in a safe, open, and spread-out manner.
