Abstract -
Currently the document storage is following an traditional
way of storing the Documents by means of paper.
However ,large number of paper and labour work is
required. Blockchain is a public ledger that is distributed
and decentralized and it is used to carry out transactions
online across the entire network of computer systems. It is a
recent technology adopted for data security. Making of false
documents and certificates by forging it from the original
ones have become more nowadays. The non-modifiable will
help the document from being replaced by another
document and also will result in permanent entry. Also the
blockchain property of distributed ledger system will help to
keep the documents unmodified and unaffected forever.
Blockchain serves as an infrastructure to secure, share, and
verify documents .So we proposed a model for Document
Storage using Blockchain Technology.

1.INTRODUCTION
Block-chain is an emerging technology for distributed and
transactional data sharing across a large network of un-
trusted participants. In today's world banking is growing
fast also the confidential data need to transfer for financial
purposes and store banking data securely.It allows new
forms of distributed software architectures. Although the
technology was mainly accepted in digital currency in
initial days, but it is a promising technology for other areas
too.
In this project we are going to use AES Encryption
Algorithm to encrypt corresponding Documents which is
at least six time faster than triple DES.
A. Overview
A Blockchain-based E-Document storage system is
for providing security to the bank transactions and to
implement the KYC process in a more simpler and secured
way. Blockchain technology is a new technology which is
based on mathematical, cryptographic and economic
principles for maintaining a database between various
participants without the necessity of any third party or
central authority. It is a secured distributed database,
tamper evident, wherein the validity of a transaction can
be verified by parties in the transaction.
Know Your Customer (KYC) processes performed
by banks on their customers are unnecessary,
unmanageable and costly. Therefore, a system is proposed
to automate unskilled tasks and allow sharing of data
related to KYC. Blockchain technology, with its concept of
distributed database, time-stamped ledgers, can
effectively help banks improve their KYC process.
One of the main tasks of the bank is to ensure information
security of data of the customers, confidentiality and the
state of their account to guarantee their safety and
integrity, in the process of exchange and processing of
information. Thus, by using the capabilities of innovative
information technology i.e. the Blockchain technology
information security can be achieved.
B. Motivation
KYC processes are generally repetitive,
incompatible, tedious and duplicated, leading to high
administrative overheads and costs. A blockchain-based
solution, with its immutable ledger, ease of integration,
and considerably lower operational and infrastructure
costs, is undeniably a better option as compared to
existing KYC processes.
Banking information has always raised the
interest of intruders to it, so each bank needs to organize
the security of the data it stores i.e. the state of their
accounts, their transaction history, etc. Blockchain is
shared distributed ledger which stores transaction to a
permanent chain which is unbreakable and can be viewed
by the parties in a transaction. The vulnerabilities in cyber-
attacks in transaction can be over-come by this technology.

1.1 Scope
In future, the nodes can be made smart through NLP
and given the ability to understand right from wrong, thus
raising a security warning whenever it finds any fault in
the currently received document.
2. METHODOLOGY
System design
Fig.System Architecture
 In proposed system, we implement a block chain
Based KYC system, in which each customer upload
a data files and encrypts these data with
corresponding key.
 To implement both security preservation and
relevant searches, we propose an effective search
scheme.
 In this framework, the server is permitted to
viably combine various encrypted records, and
safely play out the pursuit without uncovering the
user sensitive data, neither information
documents nor the questions.

Fig . Data Flow Diagram
In this System customer can login to through respective
login Id’s before that they have to go through the process
of KYC
.After uploading the data its get encrypted using AES
Algorithm .Data will be stored on the database and the
verification will be done on the server end by admin i.e
organization side with the help proper corresponding
customer Id respective document get fetched and it will be
decrypted .Verify by the organization and again it is
encrypted and send over to database on the nodes.
2.1 AES Encryption Algorithm
In this system we have used AES(Advanced encryption
standard).It is symmetric algorithm. It used to convert
plain text into cipher text .The need for coming with this
algorithm is weakness in DES. The 56 bit key of DES is no
longer safe against attacks based on exhaustive key
searches and 64-bit block also consider as weak.
Interestingly, AES performs all its computations on bytes
rather than bits. Hence, AES treats the 128 bits of a
plaintext block as 16 bytes. These 16 bytes are arranged
in four columns and four rows for processing as a matrix.
Unlike DES, the number of rounds in AES is variable and
depends on the length of the key. AES uses 10 rounds for
128-bit keys, 12 rounds for 192-bit keys and 14 rounds
for 256-bit keys. Each of these rounds uses a different
128-bit round key, which is calculated from the original
AES key.In this drop we are using it to encrypt the data
owner file.
3. CONCLUSION
In many ways, Blockchain today is comparable to
where the Internet was in early 20s. The development of
information technology and electronic business every day
has an increasingly significant impact on all spheres of the
modern life. Blockchain technology is designed to change
the traditional perception of how people interact through
a network. The main advantage of the Blockchain
technology is the complete synchronization of processes,
integrity and uniqueness of all processed information,

Its early days, but industry leaders are sponsoring a wide [5] Securing Educational Documents Using Blockchain
range of blockchain use cases supported by industry

consortiums. Having seen the potential of this technology
and the challenges, we think the opportunity is clear but
the blue sky is too far off and companies need to validate
use cases and business/technical viability before
implementing blockchain.

This Design system will help to store Documents using

Block chain Technology.. The documents are stored in an
off-chain storage systems like the local machine or any
distributed file system, in this work a private IPFS
network is created for storing the documents.Blockchain
technology is used to reduce certificate forgeries. It
ensures security, validity, and confidentiality of
information.This system will help us to greatly reduce
frauds, bribes and theft of document and also will help to
preserve the ownership of a particular person over
his/her own document.
