Abstract

Blockchain-based applications are arising because they ensure integrity, anti-tampering, and traceability. The data tampering risk is one of the main security concerns of data-centric applications. By the nature of the blockchain technology, it is befitting a revolutionary solution to mitigate the tampering risk. But there exists no proper guidance to explain how blockchain-based application could mitigate this risk. In this paper, we consider tampering risk management and discuss how blockchain-based applications could mitigate it. The study includes a comparison of different solutions.
