Abstract
In the digital era, the integrity, security, and transparency of data within Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems are of critical importance. Traditional centralized data management approaches often suffer from vulnerabilities such as data breaches, unauthorized access, and lack of traceability. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized and immutable architecture, offers transformative potential for addressing these challenges. This paper explores the integration of blockchain into ICT infrastructures to enhance secure and transparent data management. Through a comprehensive literature review, theoretical modeling, and analysis of real-world use cases, we identify how blockchain applications can mitigate existing risks and improve trust in data exchange. Furthermore, the study discusses implementation challenges, such as scalability and regulatory compliance, and presents a conceptual framework illustrating blockchain's role in ICT systems. The findings suggest that blockchain not only strengthens data security but also enables verifiable, transparent operations across various sectors, including healthcare, egovernance, education, and finance.
