Abstract

Blockchain technology’s secure, decentralized platforms have revolutionized multiple industries. This paper discusses possible problems with employing blockchain technology to ensure security. This poses a question about scalability, privacy, and regulatory compliance. It suggests an approach to Blockchain-based Digital Signature Security Analysis (B-DSSA). This solution increases digital signature algorithms using the transparency and immutability of blockchain. This engineering makes it possible for electronic communications to be valid, intact and non-repudiated, making it applicable for secured settings like healthcare, finance, supply chain management etc. As results indicate, substantial advances have been made in preventing unauthorized access and tampering in digital transactions. By combining public and private blockchains, this method achieves scalability while protecting the privacy of sensitive data. This configuration makes it possible for real-time applications in healthcare and finance by optimizing resource utilization, maintaining high data integrity, and enabling speedier processing. Document signing systems, identity verification, and contract execution are some of the examples showing the flexibility and endurance of blockchain-based security solutions through B-DSSA. The paper reveals how blockchain technology may revolutionize the field of safety, leading to further research on marketing orientation issues.
