Method And System For Efficient Distribution Of Configuration Data Utilizing Permissioned Blockchain Technology

Abstract: A method for propagating configuration data using a blockchain (410) includes: storing a blockchain (410) comprised of a plurality of blocks (412), each being comprised of a block header (420) having a timestamp (416) and one or more configuration transactions (404); receiving one or more configuration data items (402); generating a new configuration transaction (404) for each configuration data item (402); hashing a most recent block (412) identified based on the timestamp (416) included in the respective block header (420) to generate a previous block hash value; hashing a combination of the new configuration transactions (404) and/or data associated therewith to generate a current block hash value; generating a new block header (420), the new block header (420) including a current timestamp (416), the previous block hash value, the current block hash value, and a; digital signature (4) generating a new block (422) comprised of the new block header (420) and each new configuration transaction; and updating the blockchain (410) by appending the new block (422).
