“…Some scholars have also begun to explore the application opportunities of blockchain technology in sustainable development [10]. So far, very few studies related to e-ticket systems have used blockchain technology [11,12]. Moreover, studies using blockchain technology have not proposed a system architecture for vouchers.…”

Issuing vouchers is a means of implementing social welfare. There are some security concerns about paper-based vouchers, such as counterfeiting, reproducing, their low operating efficiency and so on. This study explores how to apply blockchain technology and cryptography to build a secure e-voucher system in order to solve various shortcomings of paper vouchers. A feasible application model is proposed that integrates blockchain technology in the context of vouchers to support the field of social welfare. In this study, we conducted an analysis to prove that the security requirements of the e-voucher system are met when applying this model. Subsequently, we used the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain platform and Kafka ordering services to implement the campus welfare meal voucher system. A large number of experimental data were obtained to show that the system has a satisfactory performance. In the conclusion section, we discussed the theoretical and management implications of this study, and how this study meets UN Sustainable Development Goals.Sustainability 2020, 12, 3362 2 of 22 stores then ask the government or non-profit organizations for money with the voucher received. Government or non-profit organizations may use cash vouchers to reach consumption incentives or public welfare. In Zambia, poverty is a challenge that this country has always faced. Since agriculture is the main economic body, the Zambian government launched the Farmer Input Support Program (FISP) to subsidize farmers' crop losses due to natural disasters. The government issued a physical pre-paid voucher card to the farmer, and the farmer can use the card to redeem agricultural input supply. Zambia expects farmers who have been subsidized for two years to leave the plan, but the government has no way to track who has reached the subsidy deadline, thus the cost of FISP has exploded. Later, Zambia decided to build an electronic voucher system to try to solve some problems [8,9]. However, the Zambian government still faced some problems, which we will discuss later in the next section.Since a voucher is equivalent to proof of cash value and is not redeemable for cash, the anti-counterfeiting of vouchers is a very important issue. Because vouchers have a welfare purpose, only eligible individuals can receive and use vouchers. Therefore, preventing the transfer of vouchers is also a very important issue. Moreover, the relevant parties involved in the e-voucher system are more diverse than those involved in the general admission system, so mutual trust between groups is a key factor in the success of the e-voucher system. Recently, an emerging technology, called blockchain, has brought many new opportunities to the industry. Blockchain technology achieves trust among parties and fault tolerance through cryptography and decentralized architecture. The blockchain has evolved over several stages since its introduction. Virtual currency is the earliest application of blockchain technology. Gradually, it has been found that the special features of blockc...

“…For virtual events in the metaverse, blockchain can be utilized for ticket management, in which tickets are securely linked to their buyers and all associated transactions are transparent on the blockchain, making them resistant to tampering and enabling verification. To this end, Cha et al proposed a privacy preserving blockchain-based ticketing service [54], using blockchains to store information related to events and tickets, whereas Non-Interactive ZKP are used to preserve user privacy. It allows users to prove the ownership to their tickets and ensures the integrity of data, while user privacy is guaranteed as personal information is not required to be provided.…”

Envisioned to be the next-generation Internet, the metaverse has been attracting enormous attention from both the academia and industry. The metaverse can be viewed as a 3D immersive virtual world, where people use Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) devices to access and interact with others through digital avatars. While early versions of the metaverse exist in several Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games, the full-flesh metaverse is expected to be more complex and enabled by various advanced technologies. Blockchain is one of the crucial technologies that could revolutionize the metaverse to become a decentralized and democratic virtual society with its own economic and governance system. Realizing the importance of blockchain for the metaverse, our goal in this paper is to provide a comprehensive survey that clarifies the role of blockchain in the metaverse including in-depth analysis of digital asset management. To this end, we discuss how blockchain can enable the metaverse from different perspectives, ranging from user applications to virtual services and the blockchain-enabled economic system. Furthermore, we describe how blockchain can shape the metaverse from the system perspective, including various solutions for the decentralized governance system and data management. The potential of blockchain for security and privacy aspects of the metaverse infrastructure is also figured out, while a full flow of blockchain-based digital asset management for the metaverse is investigated. Finally, we discuss a wide range of open challenges of the blockchain-empowered metaverse.

“…To improve ticket ownership verification and secondary market control, blockchain technology has been suggested (Cha et al, 2018;Li et al, 2019;Regner et al, 2019;Tackmann, 2017). In connection with automated and rulesbased transaction processing using smart contracts and nonfungible tokens (NFTs), event organizers can transparently record ticket ownership and define rules and price limits for secondary ticket market transactions (Regner et al, 2019).…”

Exploring the use of self-sovereign identity for event ticketing systems

et al. 2022

Ticket fraud and ticket scalping activities often cause high costs as well as trust concerns for fans buying event tickets, especially in the secondary ticketing market. To address these issues, several publications and projects have proposed using blockchain technology to enable digital trust and ticket verifiability and thus to improve event ticketing systems. However, these approaches exhibit considerable privacy challenges and fall short concerning reliable, efficient visitor identification, which is necessary for controlling secondary market transactions. We demonstrate how a novel paradigm for end-user digital identity management, called self-sovereign identity (SSI), can be utilized to gain secondary market control. To do so, we follow a rigorous design science research approach to build and evaluate an SSI-based event ticketing framework. Our findings demonstrate that SSI-based event ticketing can enable efficient secondary market control by facilitating a practical implementation of the centralized exchange model. To generalize our results, we derive design principles for the efficient, reliable, and privacy-oriented ticket and identity verification and the use of revocation registries.
