Abstract:
A method, computing system and computer program product are provided. A first entity system that stores sensitive information associated with different entities applies a hash function a portion of the sensitive information to produce hash values. Transaction information pertaining to transactions performed on entity systems are stored within a blockchain database accessible to the entity systems. The transaction information includes hash values corresponding to associated entities from the entity systems. The hash values of the first entity system are compared to the hash values from others of the entity systems to determine entity systems containing information pertaining to same entities. The sensitive information for an entity of the first entity system is exchanged with the determined entity systems containing information for that entity.
