Abstract
A method for registering a mining computing entity (MCE) with a trusted execution environment entity (TEEE) in a blockchain of a distributed blockchain consensus network (DBCN), based on a proof-of-stake protocol, includes providing public signing and corresponding secret signing information and trusted time information by the TEEE of the MCE, providing public and secret account information for a virtual wallet of the blockchain by the MCE, and generating integrity information by the TEEE. The method further includes generating attestation information by signing the integrity information, hashed public signing information and public account information, computing proving information, by an attestation providing entity (APE), by attesting the attestation information, and sending a transaction to the blockchain, signed with the secret account information, the transaction including the public signing information and the proving information.
