Towards Applicability of Block Chain in Aviation Industry
Abstract
Aviation sector is an important sector as far as transportation of passengers and cargos is concerned. Security of luggage’s, cargos, passengers is utmost important. A blockchain is a digital, private, and open record where bitcoin or other advanced cash transactions are recorded in a very detailed record requirement. This record is called a "blockchain." A block is the "most recent or current" part of a blockchain that tracks transactions that are still going on. Once a block is done, it is permanently stored in the blockchain. A block chain is capable of addressing most of the security issues related to airlines sector. Blockchain along with internet of things and machine learning is capable of converting existing airlines into smart airlines. Blockchain has the potential to provide security and privacy to passenger details, ticketing process, maintenance and repair operations and tracking and monitoring. This article demonstrates that Blockchain may be used in many aviation sectors services and is protected against malicious attacks, providing security and immutability.
