Abstract

In the context of crime combat, government entities in several countries have established specialized units or sectors to act in different areas and expertise as, for example, in investigation and intelligence activities. However, because they act in a scenario focused on restricted activities or that often involve sensitive information or assets, there is a need for the adoption of alternative solutions focused in management, storage or sharing of digital assets with a concern for information security. As one of the technologies that is gaining more attention in the world market, blockchain has been presenting itself as a viable solution for the public sector and government. Exploring the main characteristics of blockchain technology, this document presents an overview of the different application trends of the technology and proposes the use of blockchain as a support mechanism for management, storage or sharing of digital assets generated in the context of specialized units that operate in crime combat.
