With the popularization of digital currency and blockchain technology, more and more people believe that blockchain can provide a trustworthy data source and promote the development of various financial services. However, in fact, there are some problems with blockchain data traceability technology. problems, especially in the field of logistics. This will be analyzed below.
The security and integrity of logistics information are the key to logistics management. It involves the cooperation of all parties in various links, and the information generated by different manufacturers and equipment will be affected to varying degrees. For example, when a package is damaged in a certain link, many companies need to trace its path to other companies and ensure that all links can provide fast and accurate feedback. Based on this feature, we need an effective method to verify whether the recorded history is accurate, thereby ensuring that the tracking results of each link are credible.
In the past few years, with the rapid development of blockchain technology, more and more enterprises and organizations have chosen to use blockchain technology to realize functions such as storage, sharing, and retrieval of logistics information. Currently, more and more researchers are committed to using blockchain technology to solve logistics information security issues and improve the efficiency of the entire supply chain. However, because the storage methods and storage methods of logistics information vary widely in different industries and models, there are still some relatively complex difficulties in order to ensure the smooth completion of the entire traceability process.
This article mainly explains the basic concepts and terminology of blockchain traceability technology, as well as the design ideas, principles and application practices of blockchain-based traceability solutions. We also introduced how to ensure that blockchain data traceability technology is not compromised and falsified. Finally, we briefly introduced some blockchain-based traceability solutions for the logistics field, hoping to provide some reference for readers.
2. Explanation of basic concepts and terms
2.1 Traceability (Provenance)
Traceability, also known as intellectual property traceability, is an authoritative system that integrates the generation, propagation and transformation of events, materials or objects.
