Abstract

Techniques are provided to implement the functionality of a logic gate by blockchain transaction. A method includes providing a locking script in a first transaction, comprising an instruction to process Boolean input; providing a further transaction having an unlocking script; processing an input signal to provide a Boolean input; and using the Boolean input to execute the locking and unlocking scripts of the first and further transactions, wherein the computing resource or agent influence the behaviour of a device or process based upon the validity of the further transaction; transmitting the further transaction and/or first transaction to a blockchain network for validation; interpreting the detecting of the further transaction within the blockchain or blockchain network as the TRUE output of a logic gate; and interpreting the failure to detect the further transaction within the blockchain or blockchain network as the FALSE output of the logic gate.
