Blockchain based Removable Storage Device Log Management System

Abstract

Since the use of removable storage devices, security of the storage devices has been required as needed. In response to this demand, a method of managing/controlling removable storage devices through software is being utilized. However, because common management software stores logs about the use of the storage device on a personal PC or on a central server, there may be situations in which insiders tamper with the logs after malicious behavior. This paper proposes a blockchain-based log management system to solve the problem of log tamperability of existing removable storage management software.
