Abstract
A system for performing authentication of users of a distributed register network is provided. In particular, the system may comprise a distributed register network comprising one or more decentralized nodes, each of which may store a separate copy of a distributed data register. The system may further comprise one or more specialized nodes which authenticate users that trigger the generation of blocks in a linked structures of the distributed register network, where the blocks are associated with requests that are submitted by the user. In this way, the system verifies the authenticity of the blocks in the linked structures, thereby providing a more robust distributed register network.
