A Novel Authentication System for Artwork Based on Blockchain

The blockchain technology is emerging technology and various applications adapt blockchain. Also, art domain tries to adapt the blockchain technology because the integrity of artwork information and the authenticity of artwork are crucial factors for the price of artwork. The blockchain supports these properties well. However, existing services based on blockchain in art domain could not address the problem so called, blockchain air gap, between the blockchain listing and physical artworks. This paper provides the novel solution that addresses the problem efficiently but not expensively. Additionally, proposing system does not store owner’s password, which is used for proving the ownership and the authenticity of artwork, in system at all. Therefore, proposing system is very secured.
