Abstract
In a data distribution method according to the disclosure, first authentication servers and a first data server belong to a first group, and second authentication servers and a second data server belong to a second group different from the first group. A first authentication server obtains first transaction data that includes a data obtaining request indicating a request for obtaining or referring to data pertaining to an apparatus, and records a block including the first transaction data into its distributed ledger belonging to the first group. A second authentication server obtains the first transaction data, and records the block including the first transaction data into a distributed ledger belonging to the second group. The first authentication server causes the first data server to transfer the data pertaining to the apparatus held therein to the second data server or to make such data available for reference by the second data server.
