Abstract

Blockchain technology has emerged as a major technological platform that can record the various transaction and records in a secure and immutable format. It is being used in all sorts of transaction and record management in multiple fields. Social security is a domain that requires a system to correctly validate and store records in a secure and tamper-proof manner to avoid any case of fraud and to reach it to genuinely intended applicants. Blockchain technology can provide such a platform. In this paper, various existing projects in the field of social security have been reviewed and analysed that presents a futuristic approach for blockchain applications in the social security sector.
