Abstract:
A method includes establishing parameters and objectives for a digital communication session (DCS) regarding a topic, where computing devices are targeted to participate in the DCS. The method further includes determining whether a blockchain exists for the topic and, if so, affiliating the DCS with the blockchain. The method further includes obtaining data pertaining to the DCS from one or more of the computing devices. The method further includes generating a summarization of the DCS based on the data and in accordance with the parameters and objectives. The method further includes sending a request to at least some of the computing devices to validate the summarization. When a desired number of the at least some of the computing devices have validated the summarization, a data block regarding the DCS and the summarization is generated and the blockchain is updated to include the data block.
