Blockchain as a Secure and Decentralized Communication Tool for Future Sustainable Development

PalArch's Journal of Archaeology of Egypt / Egyptology
ISSN: 1567-214X
Nov 2, 2020

This research paper explores how Blockchain technology can serve as a secure, decentralized communication framework for future sustainable digital development. The study highlights the growing global need for secure, tamper-proof, and transparent communication systems across financial, governmental, and enterprise environments.

The paper analyzes the strengths of distributed ledger technologies (DLT), including immutability, decentralization, data integrity, and trustless communication, comparing them with traditional centralized communication models. It evaluates blockchain's role in enhancing secure transactions, inter-organizational communication, identity management, and digital economic systems.
