Abstract:
In some embodiments, a processor may store a value and a hash of the value in a ledger associated with a blockchain network. The processor may construct a block hash from the hash of the value. The processor may validate a transaction by identifying that the hash of the value matches the hash of the value from a previous transaction. The processor may maintain integrity of the block hash.
In some embodiments, a processor may provide a redact transaction for a blockchain network. The processor may initialize the redact transaction. The redact transaction may be associated with a validated transaction. The processor may identify a hash value indicated within the redact transaction and associated with the validated transaction. The processor may redact a value associated with the hash value.
