Integration of blockchain technology in Database Management systems

This study explores integrating blockchain technology into traditional database systems to address data security concerns. By combining blockchain’s immutability and decentralization with conventional databases, it aims to enhance data management system security. The study examines various implementation methods, including using blockchain as a layer, smart contract integration, and consensus mechanisms. Each approach’s strengths and weaknesses are analyzed, providing insights into their potential applications. Key findings show that integrating blockchain significantly improves data security through enhanced traceability and tamper resistance. However, scalability and performance trade-offs are identified. This paper offers valuable insights for researchers and practitioners seeking innovative solutions for secure and reliable database systems.
