SmartDED: A Blockchain- and Smart Contract-Based Digital Electronic Detonator Safety Supervision System

Digital electronic detonators, as a civil explosive, are of prime importance for people’s life and property safety in the process of production and operation. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China have extremely high requirements for their essential safety. Existing schemes are vulnerable to tampering and single points of failure, which makes tracing unqualified digital electronic detonators difficult and identifying the responsibility for digital electronic detonator accidents hard. This paper presents a digital electronic detonator safety supervision system based on a consortium blockchain. To achieve dynamic supply chain supervision, we propose a novel digital electronic detonator supervision model together with three codes in one. We also propose a blockchain-based system that employs smart contracts to achieve efficient traceability and ensure security. We implemented the proposed model using a consortium blockchain platform and provide the cost. The evaluation results validate that the proposed system is efficient.
