of rights due to a natural disaster. The digitizing land registration system also has

some risks, such as the alteration of records, error or vulnerability to fraud. These

kinds of riskshave affected the integrity of stored records.The blockchain technol­

ogy improves and digitalizes the central registry process to build the underlying

trust infrastructure. It improves transparency and prevents fraud cases. It improves­

the data security, reliability and legitimacy of land records. Blockchain technology

has many characteristics, such as immutability, decentralization, transparency and

timestamp features, etc., that provide further certainty over the stored contents of the

land registry system.A complete record is mandatory to avoid doubts and uncertain­

ties. Thus, blockchain technology will provide a reliable digitalized land registration

system with certainty and a true picture of the rights that are held by a person over

a specific property.Future work could be the implementation of a hybrid blockchain

and the outline of land-related funding, security simulation and prevention. Other

important future work could include smart contract security, risk analysis and Public

Key Infrastructure management for secure electronic transfer of information.
