Abstract
The present specification discloses a blockchain having a finite number of blockchain blocks secured in a loop with a locking blockchain block executed by instructions stored on a non-volatile computer tangible medium. The blockchain has a genesis blockchain block and a terminating blockchain block that ends the blockchain. The blockchain also has a blockchain lock block that includes a hash digest based on a hash digest from the genesis blockchain block and a hash digest from the terminating blockchain block. The blockchain lock block logically locks the genesis blockchain block to the terminating blockchain block forming the blockchain into a loop by cryptographically linking the genesis blockchain block to the terminating blockchain block, thereby preventing the addition of new blockchain blocks in the blockchain that continue a conventional blockchain through hashes based on just the previous blockchain block.
