Abstract
A blockchain network control system and method is disclosed. The system includes a processor coupled to a storage comprising a plurality of network entity definitions each defining a different network entity that make up a target network architecture for a permissioned blockchain network. The system also includes a control object communicatively coupled to an ordering service and a plurality of organizations. The plurality of organizations was established by the blockchain network control system by instantiating the organizational membership service provider, registering and enrolling each peer node within each organization, storing the cryptographic identity generated for the peer node, and then instantiating the plurality of peer nodes. The ordering service was established by the blockchain network control system by instantiating the ordering membership service provider, registering and enrolling each orderer node belonging to the ordering service, storing the cryptographic identity generated for the orderer node, and then instantiating the orderer nodes.
