Abstract
A method of using a digital notary in distributed ledger technology for block construction and verification is disclosed that comprises creating, via a birth block creator server in a network, a birth block comprising electronic device information associated with an electronic device and an instruction set. The method also comprises confirming, by a digital notary server in the network, that the instruction set was built in trust and adding, by the digital notary server, a digital notary component to the birth block in response to the confirmation. The method further comprises creating a subsequent block for the electronic device that comprises the instruction set and the digital notary component, validating the subsequent block based on the digital notary component without consensus from a plurality of consensus servers in the network, and storing the subsequent block in response to the validation.
