Quick Start

​
Security Mechanisms

Cryptographic Proofs

Hash chains and digital signatures

Distributed Consensus

Multi-node validation and synchronization

Immutable Storage

Write-once-read-many architecture

Zero Trust

Strict authentication and access control

​
Cryptographic Validation

​
Data Structure

​
record
object
required

Base record containing data and metadata

​
hash
string
required

SHA-256 hash of record content

​
previousHash
string
required

Hash of previous record in chain

​
signature
object
required

Cryptographic signature of record hash

​
Attack Prevention

​
Forgery Protection

{
  "record": {
    "id": "rec_123",
    "data": "...",
    "timestamp": "2024-03-15T00:00:00Z"
  },
  "hash": "0x4a5c...",
  "previousHash": "0x8b2d...",
  "signature": {
    "value": "0xf3d2...",
    "keyId": "key_456",
    "algorithm": "Ed25519"
  }
}

Every record must be signed by an authorized key and link to previous records.

Tampering Detection

​
Error Codes

​
400
error

Invalid record format

​
401
error

Invalid signature

​
409
error

Hash chain conflict

Best Practices

​
Key Management

  • Use hardware security modules (HSM)
  • Implement key rotation
  • Secure backup procedures
  • Multi-signature schemes

​
Node Operation

  • Geographic distribution
  • Regular synchronization
  • Load balancing
  • Redundant storage

​
Monitoring

  • Real-time integrity checks
  • Performance metrics
  • Security alerts
  • Audit reporting
