Abstract
A shared ledger of transactions may be used for various purposes and may be later accessed by interested parties for ledger verification. Authenticity of transactions requires active measures to ensure transaction participants including parties to the transactions, observers to the transaction, etc., are providing accurate information for each transaction. One example method of operation may include one or more of identifying a set of participants to one or more transactions, transmitting a request from an initiating participant to enable each of the set of participants to generate local numbers based on a number source, forwarding the local numbers to one or more of the set of participants before expiration of a specified time interval, receiving the local numbers at the initiating participant, and generating a final number based on the local numbers received, so that after a last participant among the set of participants has forwarded the local number, none of the set of participants can obtain the final number until after a limited amount of time.
