Abstract

An example operation includes one or more of receiving a request associated with a software library, identifying metadata of the software library, determining, via chaincode, whether data of the software library has been previously stored on a blockchain, and in response to a determination that the software library has not been previously stored, storing the identified metadata of the software library and a notarization value generated by the chaincode within the blockchain.
