Abstract

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) has emerged as a technology enabler for developing trusted and decentralized solutions for various distributed systems worldwide. Because of their sophisticated architectural patterns, current Information System (IS) architectural frameworks are primarily designed for centralized information systems and can no longer ensure the requisite degree of availability and dependability for Distributed Information Systems (DIS). In the current study, I am the first to declare and define the term “DLT-Native”. A “DLT-Native” DIS is built on the DLT platform and uses DLT design patterns to grow internationally, support thousands of distributed nodes, and withstand operational system failures and cyber-attacks. This research creates a reference architecture for Permissioned DLTNS organizing dispersed information system components that may share information, issue and service requests, and conduct outcome-focused activities. The proposed DLTNS architecture combines prominent security, privacy, and trust domain aspects. DLT overcomes conventional DIS solutions with an inherently centralized governance approach and a lack of transparency, data traceability, and trust.
