Abstract

Traditional government e-services are based on centralized data stores, processing, and management systems and solutions, which have several constraints, for example, single point of failure, trust concentration, absence of transparency, tracking, and verifiability. The paper discusses the applicability of a decentralized approach to building government e-services. Financial, operational, and security benefits of the decentralized approach comparing to the centralized one are outlined. The main cybersecurity challenges are identified. Authors present how Blockchain technology utilization could solve the identified issues.
