A hyperledger fabric based tamper proof decentralized land registry system for Bangladesh

Abstract

In many countries, authorities in charge of land registration are commonly charged for the improper treatment and manipulation of land records. This is the case in both developed and developing nations. Property records in Bangladesh are particularly unprotected to fraud and corruption for the country’s widespread indigence and low literacy rate. As a consequence of this, numerous parties assume several levels of authority over a specific plot of property and claim that it belongs to them in its entirety. The combination of these datasets has made it significantly more likely that it will be subject to a variety of security threats. Research on decentralized systems has attempted to find ways to improve the dependability of these systems. These kinds of problems with centralized systems are currently being addressed through the development of decentralized solutions that are based on blockchain technology. As the starting point for our investigation, our group plans to create a hyperledger fabric system that can be used in the future and is based on significant land record registration models. The Bangladeshi government agency in charge of land registration will benefit in particular from the conceptual framework that we have suggested. In this paper, we propose a conceptual working prototype for the Bangladeshi government to use in constructing a decentralized land record registration system. The prototype would structure the major components of the system.
