Official Document Management for Government Service in Indonesia using Smart Contract

摘要

In general, the electronic official documents system is designed with a centralized system and managed by each government agency, so that data and records of official documents process activities are stored in a centralized database and managed by a single organizational unit. However, there are some disadvantages of this centralized system, especially in the workflow of official documents that involve more than one organizational unit. i.e. dependence on third parties which is the sole authority of the official documents data management. If there is a system failure there is a certain period of time, it will increase the activity cycle time and decrease activity time efficiency in the official documents business process. The blockchain-based solution described in this paper is to avoid the occurrence of delay times during the activity cycle time in business processes when a system failure occurs which can cause a decrease in activity time efficiency. Blockchain makes the official documents system become “Trusless Operation” with each participant of different organizational unit having a copy of transaction data through a consensus mechanism. The simulation results show that our system can reduce time delay in activity cycle time during a system failure as long as the number of faulty peers within the tolerance limit so that it can increase the activity time efficiency.
