Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for utilizing an open and global/private blockchain system for supporting Virtual Network Function (VNF) certification and consumption processes. In operation, a system receives a request by one or more first entities to publish information to an open and global/private blockchain system for one or more VNF certification processes or VNF consumption processes. The system publishes the information to the blockchain system such that the information is stored to a ledger utilizing blockchain technology. Additionally, the system may send at least one notification to one or more second entities indicating that the information has been published to the blockchain system for accessing by the one or more second entities. In addition, the system exposes all relevant information from the open and global/private blockchain and enables 3party entities to leverage this information and enhance the system functionality.
