Abstract
A computer-implemented method () and system () for determining a metadata M for securing a controlled digital resource such as computer software using a distributed hash table () and a peer-to-peer distributed ledger (). This is a blockchain such as the Bitcoin blockchain. The method includes determining () a data associated with the computer software and determining () a first hash value based on the computer software. A second hash value based on the data and the computer software may be determined (). The method further includes sending, over a communications network (), the data, the first hash value and the second hash value to an entry for storage in a distributed hash table (). The second hash value may be a key of a key-value pair. The data and the first hash value may be a value in the key-value pair. A metadata (M) that is based on the second hash value may be determined () for storage on the peer-to-peer distributed ledger ().
