【Abstract】Confidential documents in possession of government agencies are considered as assets that must be protected. Government agencies have started implementing cloud data storage systemsto document data in a centralized network.However, this data storage system has been well-known as being threatened bydata security, integrity, and data availability risks. On the other hand, blockchain technology, a decentralized, fast, secure, transparent, and recorded data storage system, is considered as the solution for mitigatingthese risks. Therefore, this study aims to identify the dominant risk factors ofimplementingthe cloud computing storage system in government agencies potentially impacting its organizational performance and developingarisk-based data storage system that considers blockchain technology. This research used questionnaire surveys, case studies, and expert interviews to obtain its research objectives. The results demonstratedthat six dominant risks includeddata theft and breaches, data corruption caused by virus attacks, limited storage space, data loss caused by system damage, data being accessed without particular access rights, and lack of guaranteesfrom the system when a security threat occurred. Amodel for the blockchain-based cloud data storage system is proposed to address these risksand to improvethe organizational performance of government agencies.Keywords:Blockchain;Cloud; Data storage system; Government agencies1.IntroductionTo carry out its duties and functions mandated by law,government agencies requirethorough data protection systems (Hill, 2014). Confidential documents and classified information in these agencies are considered asgovernment assets that must be protectedduring use, storage, or transmission of information through the application of policies, education, and technology (Whitman andMattord, 2018). Therefore, a secure data storage system in government agencies is needed, particularly foragencies that possess confidential data and information in their documents, considering the large volume andthehigh value of informationthat must be managed and protectedfrom all possible threats.Like many other countries, Indonesia has widely implemented cloud storage systems to document data and information in its government agencies.

【标题】开发基于区块链的数据存储系统模型以提高政府机构的组织绩效

【摘要】政府机构拥有的机密文件被认为是必须得到保护的资产。政府机构已经开始实施云数据存储系统，在一个集中的网络中记录数据。然而，这种数据存储系统已经受到数据安全、完整性和数据可用性风险的威胁。另一方面，区块链技术作为一个去中心化的、快速的、安全的、透明的、记录的数据存储系统，被认为是减轻这些风险的解决方案。因此，本研究旨在确定政府机构实施云计算存储系统可能影响其组织绩效的主导风险因素，并考虑区块链技术开发基于风险规避的数据存储系统。本研究采用问卷调查、案例研究和专家访谈的方式来实现其研究目标。研究结果表明，六种主要风险包括数据被盗和泄露、病毒攻击造成的数据损坏、有限的存储空间、系统损坏造成的数据丢失、没有特定访问权限的数据被访问，以及安全威胁发生时系统缺乏保证。该研究提出了基于区块链的云数据存储系统的模型，以解决这些风险并提高政府机构的组织绩效。 关键词：区块链；云；数据存储系统；政府机构 简介：为了履行法律规定的职责和职能，政府机构需要彻底的数据保护系统（希尔，2014）。这些机构的机密文件和机密信息被认为是政府资产，必须通过政策、教育和技术的应用，在使用、存储或传输信息时加以保护（Whitman andMattord，2018）。因此，考虑到必须管理和保护所有可能的威胁的大量和高价值的信息，政府机构（特别是对于那些在文件中拥有机密数据和信息的机构）需要一个安全的数据存储系统。
