Abstract
A peer node in a blockchain distribution network includes a processor and a transceiver operatively coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to generate an encrypted test block. The encrypted test block is indistinguishable from an encrypted blockchain in the blockchain distribution network. The transceiver is configured to transmit the encrypted test block to a server for distribution throughout the blockchain distribution network. The transceiver is also configured to receive a message from a second peer node in the blockchain distribution network, where the message indicates that the second peer node received the encrypted test block.
