Although there were number of methods and techniques developed for providing security to the digital documents such as cryptography, digital signature but over the existing structure of web applications they found to be very limited to protect the vulnerabilities with the digital documents and the question of originality and trust becomes very critical as even cloud computing technology also have some short falls in providing full flexed data security to the data storage. To overcome such problems the digital ledger technology has emerged into its new form as blockchain technology. Because of its permanent nature of block based storage system and self-executing consensus mechanism it has been applied to ensure the security of digital documents. Blockchain technology is the core technology behind the cryptocurrency or digital currency. This paper focuses on the blockchain technology and application of blockchain technology for the digital document management in terms of storage of digital documents, secured access control for verification and validation of the digital documents stored on the online platform. Also presents a comparative study of various available frameworks for digital document management designed with the help of blockchain and its allied technologies.
