Reconsiderations on Blockchain for Electronic Archives Authenticity Guarantee:A Discussion on the Technical Application and Autonomous Controllability of Archive Management
Authenticity is a major challenge faced by electronic archive management.Although there is still controversy over the use of blockchain technology to ensure the authenticity of electronic archives,research on using blockchain technology to ensure the authenticity of electronic archives is not uncommon.First of all,based on the analysis of the technical characteristics of the blockchain to achieve tamper resistance of data,combined with the principles and practices of archive management,this paper believes that there are logical contradictions in theory and practice in using blockchain technology to ensure the authenticity of electronic archives at this stage;secondly,the application of archive management technology,including blockchain technology,should follow the principles of applicability,purposefulness,economy and autonomous controllability;finally,the archival industry should also strengthen the tracking and research of new technologies,but more detailed applicability research should be conducted before using blockchain technology to ensure the authenticity of electronic archives.
