Abstract:
An example operation may include one or more of storing a broadcast encryption tree comprising a set of cryptographic keys disposed in a hierarchical tree format, distributing a partial set of keys from the broadcast encryption tree to each respective peer from among a group of peers included in a blockchain network, receiving, from a user device, an identification of at least one peer included in the group of peers for processing a blockchain transaction, selecting a subset of keys from among the set of cryptographic keys in the broadcast encryption tree which enables at least one peer to decrypt transactions and doesn't enable the remaining peers included in the group of peers to decrypt transactions, and transmitting broadcast encryption information about the selected subset of keys to the user device for performing encryption of the transactions.
