Network access control based on distributed ledger

Abstract:

Example embodiments for controlling access in a network system based on a distributed ledger are presented. In an example embodiment, a plurality of nodes of a computer network capture information describing requested data transactions in the computer network. At least some of the nodes construct transaction blocks for a distributed ledger, with each of the transaction blocks including information describing one or more of the requested data transactions. The nodes publish the transaction blocks to other nodes. The nodes receiving the transaction blocks add those of the transaction blocks that do not include a disallowable requested data transaction to copies of the distributed ledger. One or more arbitrator nodes approve those of the requested data transactions represented in transaction blocks added to the copies of the distributed ledger by a consensus of the nodes.
