| Summary: | This project is a development-based project that specific in cybersecurity area. At present
time, the blockchain technology become more popular and be adopted in many types of
approach and solution. The reason is blockchain offer the decentralized, integrity, immutable,
security enhancement and others benefits that are many people need. At the same time, the
traditional database may not secure enough anymore so the blockchain database is appeared
to solve the concerns. The blockchain is suitable be used in enhance security that able to
against those cyberattacks or the actions that try to damage the data records. Thus, the
propose of this project is aim to produce an authentication system utilizing the blockchain
database. The database will be used as public ledger but at the same time the confidentiality
of the login credentials needs to be provided as well. At the meanwhile, the data integrity also
needs to be ensured. Thanks to one of the blockchain unique characteristics which is
immutable, this is to prevent data tampered and modification be executed on the blockchain
record.
ProvenDB is a blockchain database which is MongoDB compatible database service that
integrate with blockchain. Thus, precisely to say is the database that been used in this project
is MongoDB which is a non-relational document-oriented database; while applied blockchain
is public Bitcoin blockchain. In the end, ProvenDB is a technology that combine from these 2
mentioned technologies so this project only deals with 1 instead of 2 sides of technology at
the same time. ProvenDB consist of rich and many operations on the MongoDB basis and
complement with query that only can applied to blockchain. Moreover, the blockchain will
play the role for responsible in store, validate, proof data. Last but not least, the blockchain
also can be used to prevent some malicious attack like data tampered, data modifications,
ransomware attack, record hacking and others in this project. In conclusion, this project will
be utilizing the blockchain technology in order to enhance system security. |
