Abstract
Methods and systems for storing data are disclosed. To store data, transactions may be generated and sent to a storage system. Hashes of the transaction may also be generated and distributed to ledger agents of a distributed ledger system. The hashes of the transaction may be used by the storage system to verify integrity of the transaction. To establish trust in the ledger agents, the storage system may require that the hashes of the transaction be signed with a private key. The private key may be protected with multiple protection mechanisms.
