Blockchain Based Transparent and Secure Algorithms for Copyright Protection System

Abstract

With the rapid proliferation of digital content, protecting copyrights has become increasingly newlinecritical, as creators face challenges such as intellectual property theft, unauthorized sharing, newlineand weak enforcement of their rights. Traditional copyright systems, typically centralized, suffer newlinefrom multiple limitations, including a lack of transparency, vulnerability to manipulation, newlineand inefficiency across diverse platforms. These shortcomings hinder the reliable protection newlineof digital content. This thesis develops blockchain-based copyright protection systems using newlinesmart contracts to improve security, automation, transparency, and efficiency. Three innovative newlineapproaches are proposed and analyzed. The first approach, a blockchain-based algorithmic newlineframework, uses smart contracts to automatically register digital works, verify ownership, track newlineusage history, and record all modifications on a secure, tamper-proof blockchain, significantly improving newlinetraceability and trust. The second approach introduces an algorithmic business process newlinemodel for copyright protection integrated with permissionless blockchain, structuring optimized newlinestate transitions and smart contracts into a step-by-step chain of transformation. Utilizing the newlinePSTRA algorithm, this method enables automated decision-making, resulting in a cost-effective, newlinestandardized, and efficient copyright system. The third approach focuses on designing and implementing newlinea permissioned blockchain-based system using Hyperledger Fabric, covering the entire newlinedigital rights lifecycle from user registration and validation to licensing and enforcement. newlineThis approach ensures real-time protection against unauthorized use, accelerates enforcement, newlineand maintains secure and transparent records of copyright data. Collectively, these three approaches newlineprovide a comprehensive solution that combines theoretical foundations, algorithmic newlinemodeling, and practical blockchain applications to address critical challenges in digital copyright newlineprotection.
