Abstract
The distributed file system includes a blockchain node with one or more records recorded in a blockchain of the blockchain node by a series of immutable transactions. More specifically, the blockchain node receives a request to permit access to a record by a service provider. The blockchain node is further configured to determine a geofenced area associated with the service provider, the geofenced area being an area encompassing a geographic location associated with the service provider, and to determine a location of the mobile device associated with the record based on the request. When the blockchain node determines that the mobile device is within the geofenced area associated with the service provider, the blockchain node sends a biometric confirmation request to the mobile device to permit the service provider access to the record.
