Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for authenticating a chunk of data identified in a query received by a data intake and query system. The data intake and query system receives a query that identifies a set of data and manner for processing the set of data, and identifies a chunk of data that is part of the set of data. The system generates a content identifier, such as a hash, of the chunk of data. The system further authenticates the chunk of data based on the generated content identifier and a content identifier stored by a distributed ledger system.
