Abstract

Existing e-commerce online review systems face several issues, including undemocratic behaviours of e-commerce companies to delete and or modify user reviews. A systematic literature review is carried out by us to investigate the problem. A peer-to-peer online review system is proposed based on Blockchain technology.

Literature study reveals few other researchers have attempted to use Blockchain technology for the similar problem. These existing studies have a few limitations and have ignored some essential elements of reviews. We have extended work to fill the gap in the knowledge. In our solution, reviews need to be uploaded through HTTPB (Blockchain + HTTP) protocol. Reviews will go to the smart contract first, and the hash value will be recorded on Blockchain. Afterward, reviews will be passed through HTTP protocol and stored on centralised server of e-commerce websites. A comparison of hash values will confirm whether reviews have been tampered with or not. Our solution has sought a middle ground to ensure data access control and protect e-commerce platforms’ digital assets compared with other blockchain-based solutions.
