Abstract: ［Purpose/Significance］This paper aims to discuss the applicability of the blockchain technology in the context of guaranteeing the authenticity of electronic records and how to combine with the information technology to solve the existing problems.
［Design/Methodology］This paper firstly demonstrated the feasibility of electronic records authenticity guarantee based on the blockchain technology by using structured method. Then a conceptual model of ensuring the authenticity of electronic documents based on blockchain technology was proposed. The digital abstracts of electronic records were saved by blockchain in order to ensure the authenticity of electronic records during its whole life cycle.［Findings/Conclusion］It has been found that it is feasible to adopt blockchain for the ensurance of electronic records authenticity. Moreover, the adoption of blockchain is helpful to maintain the stability, security and transparency of the storage of electronic records’ authenticity proofs, and reduce the cost as well.［Originality/Value］This paper has introduced the blockchain technology into the research on electronic records authenticity guarantee, and explored the application scheme of blockchain technology in the context of electronic records authenticity guarantee.
