Abstract
Techniques are provided for emulating or otherwise executing the functionality of a logic gate via a computer-based distributed ledger or blockchain. The method comprises the steps of automatically generating a blockchain transaction comprising a locking script for an output, wherein a corresponding redeem script: i) specifies a plurality of public keys, each associated with a corresponding private key; and wherein each public key is uniquely associated with a potential state of at least one data source; and ii) comprises logic arranged to provide a result based on which of the plurality of associated private key is used to sign an unlocking script, wherein a minimum number of said private keys must be used to sign the unlocking script of a further blockchain transaction in order to spend the output.
