Since the rise of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, Blockchain tehnology has become one of more pressing security issues in recent years. Many countries around the world (including Slovenia) see blockchain tehnology as an opportunity to improve public services and optimize both public and private lives of their citizens. Although this technology promises to overcome security issues of information and communication technologies, it still comes with some of the security challenges, which countries would need to address before its implementation. In my dissertation, I explored the security benefits and challenges of Blockchain tehnologies in terms of impact on country's national security and showed on the case of Republic of Slovenia and its national security documents whether there is already any legal basis for the implementation of blockchain technologies. The analysis shows that Blockchain could indeed bring many benefits to Slovenian security system, but its implementation would need to be sufficient enough to avoid any potential security leaks and we would need to adapt it to the individual organization.
