A Blockchain-based Customizable Document Registration Service for Third Parties

Abstract

Blockchain has been relevant in the document management process, serving as a storage solution with the potential to guarantee the relevant requirements needed for any document storage and validation solution. However, due to the distributed nature of blockchain, we may face implementation difficulties and high operational costs, for example. To facilitate this process, we propose a customizable blockchain-based document registration service that makes it possible to create different types of gen-eralized documents for various application domains and store them in one or more blockchains integrated in an Application Programming Interface (API).
