Abstract

This study examines the possibility of applying various recordkeeping methods through a platform built in 2019 by the National Archives of Korea. In particular, it aims to develop a way to track and store transactions using blockchain and to design and present the method of records management automation using smart contracts. In this regard, a literature review, a system analysis of CAMS and MAM, interviews with the experts, designing, implementation, and the development of the system's proof of concept were performed. These efforts resulted in the proposal of an archives and records management strategy utilizing blockchain, which guarantees transparency and accountability by preserving an audit trail on recordkeeping activities.

2019년 10월 대통령 직속 4차산업혁명위원회는 투명하고 신뢰도가 높은 사회의 구축을 위해 공공문서의 원본, 수정본 및 변경 이력을 추적하고, 무결성과 진본 증명을 위해 블록체인을 활용한 공공문서 관리체계를 확립하여야 한다는 대정부 권고안을 발표하였다. 이후 기획재정부 등 정부는 공공분야의 블록체인 예산을 확대하여 공문서를 포함한 다양한 공공기록에 블록체인 기술을 적용한다는 확산전략을 수립하였다. 국가기록원은 2019년 블록체인 기록관리 플랫폼을 구축하고 2020년 현재 이를 활용한 다양한 기록관리 적용 가능성을 연구하고 있다. 이 논문은 1년간 진행된 블록체인 기록관리 연구 결과 중 일부로 블록체인의 트랜잭션 추적과 스마트 컨트랙트 기능이 기록관리에 어떻게 응용될 수 있는지를 정리한 것이다. 블록체인 기록관리의 주요 개념, 다양한 연구 및 사례를 통해 기본이해를 공유하고, 기록관리에 적용 가능한 업무기능을 발굴하여 설계하고 검증한 여러 모형을 제시하였다. 전통적 기록관리 방식을 대체하는 지능형 기술들이 공공업무의 투명성을 보다 효율적으로 보장 가능하다는 인식은 기록관리 전문가들에겐 위기이자 기회일 수 있다. 이 연구가 기록관리의 미래를 대비한 제도개선과 연구 활동에 도움이 될 수 있기를 기대한다.
