Abstract

A method performed by a trusted network device and a network device for transmitting a trusted state representation of a state of a DLT network to one or more network devices is described. The trusted network device determines a state indicator. The state indicator is a representation of a state of the DLT network at a given time. The trusted network device transmits to one or more network devices a beacon message including the state indicator. The beacon message is signed based on authentication information associated with the trusted network device. The state indicator is to be used by the one or more network devices as a trusted current state of the DLT network.
