Abstract

An objective is to manage contract data registered in a distributed ledger with part of the contract data flexibly concealed without a centralized concealment server and without bothering the user with complicated procedures or the key management. A data registration method performed by a computer includes: generating a common key for encrypting and decrypting an item included in data that is registered in a distributed ledger; acquiring a public key for each account of a user having access authority to the item; encrypting the common key with the public key for each account; and registering the common key encrypted for each account in the distributed ledger via a transaction.
