Blockchain is in the center of attention as a technology that will lead the next generation E-government. It is a strategy to increase efficiency and transparency of government system by introducing blockchain into E- government solutions such as electronic voting, electronic contracts, resident registration and electronic document management. Blockchain is a type of distributed database (DB) that manages the authority of data management and records by distributing them to various DBs without a central system
The Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs held a debate on ``The New Future of the Government of the Blockchain`` at the International House of Seoul Government House in Sejong-ro, Seoul on February 22. More than 120 people attended the event, including experts in the blockchain field and members of the intelligent information technology subcommittee of the E-government private-public cooperation forum. Park Sung Joon- the head of the blockchain research center at the Graduate School of International Information Security of Dongguk University stated that ‘The blockchain is a platform that can deal with distributed DB, password, smart contract. The blockchain is not only 2nd internet but also the future infrastructure.’
Park Sung Joon- the head of the Center stated that it is possible to improve the public service delivery system, such as establishing a common use of administrative information by using blockchain, expanding collaboration among agencies, public service certification along with public data transaction. It means Encryption vote through blockchain formation for E-voting but vote result announcement at the same time. Besides, the resident registration E-documents are encrypted and will be decoded by only those who have authority to open E-document and real estate registration is suggested for people who want to view the registry office and real estate registration in the blockchain.
In fact, according to a report of IBM released last year, 14 %of the world``s government organizations are willing to introduce blockchain. Currently, the United States is considering the introduction of a blockchain-based medical information sharing system, while already using blockchain for E-vote. The UK is promoting the use of block chains and smart contract application throughout public services, and Sweden, on the other hand, has already applied the blockchain-based land register saving and smart contract.
The introduction of blockchain has been spreading around the financial sector last year in Korea. Jung Yun Ki- the director of e-government in the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs said that ‘This forum is an opportunity to debate the application of the blockchain technology to the public sector. It will create a market by preemptively introducing blockchain technology in the public sector. I expect it to be the cornerstone of chain technology development.’
