Abstract
An approach is provided for deterring a tampering of content. Content is signed by using an asymmetric key cryptography. The signed content is stored in a distributed ledger which is accessible to a plurality of subscribers of the distributed ledger. The signing of the content using the asymmetric key cryptography together with the storing of the signed content in the distributed ledger provide a non-repudiable identification of an owner of the content and a non-repudiable proof of an ownership of the content.
