Abstract

Blockchain in government services has a wide range of application areas for various departments from legal document storage and management to healthcare benefits. Decentralized nature opens opportunities for a government that can achieve operations 24/7 and cut back office operations. A Blockchain system for government offers a potential solution to legacy pain points and establishes a secure storage for citizens and businesses. It also reduces intensive paper processes, excessive managing costs, and potential corruption and abuse. Instead, it greatly increases security of digital services and more importantly trust in the government. This chapter provides a detailed review of Blockchain solutions for three major government services: land registry, GDPR, and healthcare. For each service, a state-of-the-art is given, followed with the technical details of use cases and potential improvements for current problems.
