Abstract
A given policy file is obtained at a publishing node of a decentralized system of nodes, wherein the given policy file defines a policy that applies to at least a subset of nodes in the decentralized system of nodes. The given policy file is sent to a decentralized storage network for storage therein. Storage metadata is received from the decentralized storage network, wherein the storage metadata represents address information associated with storage of the given policy file in the decentralized storage network. The publishing node generates policy file retrieval metadata based on the storage metadata received from the decentralized storage system. The policy file retrieval metadata is sent to a blockchain network for storage therein. One or more querying nodes of the decentralized system of nodes access the blockchain network to obtain the policy file retrieval metadata in order to then retrieve the policy file from the decentralized storage network.
