ABSTRACT
Workflow management is crucial for organizations to operate efficiently and effectively. It helps businesses to streamline their operations, reduce manual work, minimize errors, and improve overall productivity. The popular current solutions which are paper based, or web application based requires technological upgrade. Blockchain not only fits the requirements in terms of cost, scalability but also in addressing the security requirements owing to the inherent use of public key-based digital signatures, hash and decentralized architecture being an integral part of its foundations. In this work we choose to build our prototype solution based on hyperledger fabric which adds flexibility through the customizable consensus mechanism and its permissioned nature makes the identity management and association of public key to identity a seamless task. We show that this design better fits the requirements and enhances workflow management in the organizational context. By extension, a similar design has the potential to efficiently meet several of organizational requirements where we need public key-based, digitally signed, sustainable and scalable solutions built on top of distributed architecture.
