Abstract:

One example method includes receiving from a node, in an HSAN that includes multiple nodes, an ADD_DATA request to add an entry to a distributed ledger of the HSAN, the request comprising a user ID that identifies the node, a hash of a data segment, and a storage location of the data segment at the node, performing a challenge-and-response process with the node to verify that the node has a copy of the data that was the subject of the entry, making a determination that a replication factor X has not been met, and adding the entry to the distributed ledger upon successful conclusion of the challenge-and-response process.
