A Criminal Record Keeper System using Blockchain

In India, as per records, it has been observed that with each succeeding year, criminal activities are surging. Crime is an act executed against the law of constitution and is a menace to our society. Thus, crime and criminals need to be monitored conveniently. Unlike USA or other countries, in India, criminal records are not public, which means neither private organizations nor common people can access criminal records for employee verification. A centralized system, which gives access to criminal data, would be a feasible solution to this problem. This study aims to develop a Flutter-based blockchain-enabled permissionless system that would help in the remote access of criminal records. The system would be developed using Ethereum, which offers vivid features such as truffle for enabling Ethereum virtual environment, Ganache for personal testing of smart contracts, InterPlanetary file system for encrypted storage of data and easy tracking of files, and MetaMask, which acts as a digital wallet.
