BlockTicket: A framework for electronic tickets based on smart contract.

Area of Science:

• Computer Science
• Information Security
• Distributed Systems

Background:

• E-commerce growth has led to increased copyright violations in electronic ticketing (E-ticketing).
• Traditional E-ticketing systems are costly due to centralized administration and third-party involvement.
• Existing systems face challenges with data leaks and user privacy.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a novel framework for E-ticketing utilizing blockchain technology.
• To address the limitations of traditional centralized E-ticketing systems.
• To enhance security, privacy, and efficiency in digital ticketing.

Main Methods:

• Development of a blockchain-based electronic ticketing model.
• Separation of user credential information from financial transactions.
• Implementation of a distributed ledger for secure and transparent record-keeping.

Main Results:

• The proposed framework significantly reduces the potential for data leaks and improves user privacy.
• Elimination of third-party involvement lowers operational costs and increases system efficiency.
• Experimental data demonstrates high throughput, flexible scalability, and efficient ticket holding times.

Conclusions:

• Blockchain technology provides a robust and scalable solution for modern E-ticketing.
• The decentralized approach enhances security, auditability, and user data protection.
• This framework offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional E-ticketing systems.
