Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Distributed Systems
  • Data Management

Background:

  • Blockchains, initially developed for cryptocurrency to prevent double-spending, have seen widespread interest.
  • However, blockchain design choices are not always suitable for general data management applications.
  • Existing distributed ledger technologies (DLT) often lack flexibility for typical data management needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the properties of DLT for data management applications.
  • To introduce two novel DLT concepts that adapt blockchain features for broader use.
  • To enable essential capabilities like block modification and accurate timestamping in permissioned DLT.

Main Methods:

  • Review of blockchain properties and their applicability to data management.
  • Introduction of two new distributed ledger ideas.
  • Analysis of how these ideas support block mutability and precise timestamping.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration that DLT can be adapted for data management beyond cryptocurrencies.
  • Successful integration of block deletion/modification capabilities.
  • Implementation of a highly accurate timestamping mechanism for time-order dependent applications.

Conclusions:

  • DLT can be effectively modified for general data management tasks.
  • The proposed adaptations retain blockchain's value while adding necessary functionalities.
  • These advancements are crucial for time-sensitive and mutable data applications.
