Abstract
Examples relate to a BC network including a plurality of network devices deployed in a network. The plurality of network devices includes an authoritative network device that generates a transaction in a distributed ledger. The transaction includes location information of a new public key certificate to be deployed in each of the network devices. In order to verify the transaction, a network device of the plurality of network devices verifies, using a smart contract, whether the new public key certificate is valid and whether the new public key certificate is different from a previously recorded public key certificate in the distributed ledger. In response to successful verification by at least a predefined number of network devices of the plurality of network devices, each of the network device record the transaction in the distributed ledger.
