Abstract:
The drugs industry is one of the most popular industrial areas, which suffers from counterfeit and loss of integrity. For instance, the proportion of counterfeit drugs in the world reached 10-15%. This paper proposes a secure Blockchain-based system for reducing drug counterfeit. The proposed system was implemented using the NodeJS language with a hyper ledger fabric platform. We analyzed network overheads to assess how many network messages we need to reach a consensus on a single block. The results show that to reach a consensus in a system of N peers, 2N*(N-1) messages are required. In addition, the proposed system has high performance in terms of less time needed to validate and append transactions into BC system.
