ArchivesChain:Distributed PKI Archives System

Electronic archives are electronic files with very high security requirements. We use block chain technology to implement a distributed PKI system. On this basis, we build an archives system ArchivesChain based on block chain to solve the drawbacks of the current centralized storage of archives and the security problems caused by the excessive centralization of traditional PKI.We have implemented multi-point authentication of archive data through block chain technology, including certificate registration and verification confirmation when archives are generated, ensuring data security during the process of receiving and migrating archives, and generating archive certificates on the chain, similar to handling identity cards for each electronic file.Compared with CA authentication systems in traditional PKI, the block chain-based PKI in our system is provided by all members of the Federation to verify and authenticate the data, thus ensuring that archives information can not be tampered with and providing authentic authentication with credibility.
