The data from RFID chip is stored as blockchain. Blockchain technology is in highlights due to its exclusive feature of decentralization and security. Blockchain is managed as blocks where each block contains the checksum of previous block, thus forming a chain, hence called as “blockchain”. These chains are distributed then in the network which ensures the biggest benefit of no centralization to control data. The chains follow proper order and the hash after encryption of previous block is stored with the current block. This continues for all the blocks in chain.The security provided is such that data is tamperproof and fail-proof due to its encryption technique. A blockchain is a decentralized and distributed digital ledger that records transactions across many …show more content…

Data from SCM can be linked to Blockchain which keeps the data available to all stakeholders yet in a way that it cannot be tampered by unwanted unauthorized access. Thus blockchain supports the process as a whole by eliminating human intervention[6]. Other advantages of blockchain include scalability, safety, proof of correctness, high performance, self organized. Blockchain has been gaining importance in the field of supply chain management(SCM) as circulation of counterfeit products can be controlled with its upbringing of transparency in number of different industries. This fight against product counterfeiting is done using BlockVerify by which the product details are stored in each of the blocks hence tampering or creating redundancy is not possible. In blockchain each product in the chain will have its own unique identity to reduce market frauds to considerable extents. Blockchain is playing a major part in the Internet of Things by enhancing security and in managing devices more easily. The RFID Tag due to its varied benefits can be used to meet service needs in
