Abstract:
A distributed ledger management method performed by each of nodes 211 configuring a distributed ledger system, includes: holding, in an end block 102, signatures of respective organizations operating the respective nodes, hash values of respective groups of blocks into which a blockchain 215 is divided by a number of the operating organizations, information on organizations by which the group of blocks is to be held, and a verification frequency for the hash value between the organizations; specifying a group of blocks to be held by the organization; deleting a block other than the group of blocks in the blockchain 215; and performing a tamper verification of requesting a node 211 of another organization to transmit the hash value of the group of blocks to be held by the other organization at a verification frequency, and collating the hash value with the hash value included in the end block 102.
