Abstract
The present invention is a data protocol providing notarization of a data between two or more nodes on a content-addressable peer-to-peer storage network. A node generates a new data block, which is witnessed by peer nodes to increase the integrity of the data. Each peer node responds to the node's signature request with an encoded digital signature of the data using a private key. The node appends the signature from each witness node to the data block and then generates a cryptographic hash of the entire data block, which is used as the identity of the block.
