Abstract:

We are witnessing the world steadily heading towards the fourth industrial revolution. With the advent of e-government systems, public service dispersion is being scaled up all around the world. Any e-government system that is vulnerable to cyberattacks, poses serious security challenges and raises concerns about confidentiality and data integrity, in turn resulting in public distrust. This research focuses on the Saudi Arabian e-government portal YESSER as a case study to determine its degree of vulnerability by exposing it to three network penetration testing tools, namely Zap, Rapid7 and Nessus and examine the possibility of strengthening the Saudi e-government system through a rigorous examination of the existing literature to address the security of future e-government frameworks. Blockchain is a distributed ledger, and it is described as a continuously increasing set of publicly available records that are encrypted to provide security against tampering and alteration. This work proposes an effective Blockchain e-government framework to secure the Saudi Arabian e-government portal (YESSER).
