Secure monitoring using block chain

Abstract:

The present disclosure includes apparatuses, methods, and systems for using a local ledger block chain for secure updates. An embodiment includes a memory, and circuitry configured to receive a global block to be added to a local ledger block chain for validating an update for data stored in the memory, where the global block to be added to the local ledger block chain includes a cryptographic hash of a current local block in the local ledger block chain, a cryptographic hash of the data stored in the memory to be updated, where the current local block in the local ledger block chain has a digital signature associated therewith that indicates the global block is from an authorized entity.
