Abstract

File integrity checking is a critical aspect of cybersecurity, ensuring that files remain unaltered and authentic. Traditional methods, such as cryptographic hashing and checksums, are widely used but have limitations, including single points of failure and vulnerability to tampering. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized, tamper- proof solution for file integrity verification by leveraging its immutable ledger and consensus mechanisms. This paper reviews existing file integrity checking techniques, explores blockchain-based approaches, discusses their advantages and challenges, and presents future research directions.
