Past international trade practices have been associated with opaque information flows that have hindered traceability and created hurdles in hassle-free trade. Blockchain and allied technologies have been investigated as a panacea for the problems faced by supply chain and logistics industry. Network analysis also uncovered twenty types of legal and antisocial entities operating on bitcoin and provided a path for uncovering these antisocial entities. However, earlier works of literature have focused on limited aspects of a typical supply chain such as monitoring assets, securing traceability, data integrity negligence, and data access. To overcome such drawbacks, this article proposes permissioned Blockchain with relevant processes and functions to obtain a holistic framework for securing the supply chain and logistic operations. The efficacy of the proposed framework was demonstrated in the case study. Comparative study was performed with the existing frameworks where the proposed framework was found to be better at four counts compared on the basis of data integrity in supply chain, decentralized decision making and traceability. It was found that critical loopholes in a current supply chain can be overcome using the proposed framework.

使用区块链保护物流系统和供应链

过去的国际贸易做法与不透明的信息流动有关，这阻碍了可追溯性并为无障碍贸易设置了障碍。区块链和相关技术已被研究为解决供应链和物流行业面临的问题的灵丹妙药。网络分析还发现了 20 种在比特币上运行的合法和反社会实体，并为发现这些反社会实体提供了途径。然而，早期的文献工作集中在典型供应链的有限方面，例如监控资产、确保可追溯性、数据完整性疏忽和数据访问。为了克服这些缺点，本文提出了具有相关流程和功能的许可区块链，以获得保护供应链和物流运营的整体框架。案例研究证明了拟议框架的有效性。与现有框架进行了比较研究，在供应链中的数据完整性、分散决策和可追溯性的基础上，发现提议的框架在四个方面更好。发现可以使用提议的框架克服当前供应链中的关键漏洞。
