Abstract:

Insurance business is characterized by document intensive workflows and complicated interrelationship because of numbers of stakeholders involving in various activities. Given that, the greatest challenge is to effectively authenticate the files submitted by different stakeholders. Although blockchain affords potential to reshape the insurance industry due to its advanced security and trustworthy mechanism, there is still a long way to go. Two technical challenges should be dealt with when applying blockchains to the insurance sector, i.e. representation of business interdependence and authentication of private information. To address these two challenges, we propose and design a blockchain-based technical model, InsurModel, for a recent initiative of long-term care insurance (LTCI) in China. We utilize a series of cryptographical methods to 1) represent the business interdependence in the blockchain, and 2) verify confidential business information without any disclosure. We also demonstrate the scalability of our designed model through computational experiments and evaluations.
