Abstract
The counterfeit medicine supply chain deals with a main issue on safety of drug. During the actual manufacture of drugs, it is a difficult process to trace the accurate pharmaceutical ingredients. Drugs that contain inactive ingredients and that do not contain calculated active ingredients can ultimately lead to harming the end consumer and also death of end consumer. Blockchain’s technology has the capability to completely trace the drugs, from manufacturer to end consumer, and provides the basis to identify counterfeit-drug. This paper aims to address the issue of drug safety using Blockchain and encrypted security. The methods used are SHA algorithm, AES Rijndael algorithm, Blockchain TCP Remoting concepts.
Keywords
Blockchain, drug counterfeit, tracing, medical care, trust, security, drug safety, medical supply chain.
