Abstract
A method and a system for fault detection and removal in a distributed computing system, implemented as a permissioned blockchain network, is disclosed. The method fault detection comprising compiling and executing a smart contract common for all nodes of the permissioned blockchain network. The smart contract is configured to perform at least one operation from a series of operations comprising: (1) appending transactions including logs indicative of exchanging of messages between the nodes of permissioned blockchain network, (2) detecting malicious behavior of a node in reaching a consensus, and (3) revoking the access of the node upon detecting the malicious behavior. Further, once malicious behavior (and corresponding malicious node) is detected, a consensus is reached between the networked computers of the permissioned blockchain network, by executing a distributed computing program.
