Method for generating and maintaining reliable data in a network environment

A method for generating trusted data in a computer network, comprising:

• 1) in a computer network comprising a plurality of nodes, initiating multiple data blocks and defining associated shared computation rules respectively by multiple nodes among the plurality of nodes, comprising:
• initializing a data block [A]0 and defining associated shared computation rules by one of the plurality of nodes in the computer network which serves as an initial node for the data block [A]0 and the associated shared computation rules, and broadcasting the data block [A]0 and the shared computation rules to the computer network;
• 2) recognizing a node that has acknowledged the data block [A]0 as a participating node;
• 3) when n participating nodes need to add new data A, independently computing a candidate data block [A]T of [A]1 by the n participating nodes according to the shared computation rules, wherein the data block [A]1 includes the new data A, which is a successor data block to [A]0;
• 4) respectively broadcasting respective computation results [A]T by the n participating nodes to other participating nodes;
• and
• 5) monitoring broadcast packets and performing computations on the computation result [A]T by the one of the other participating nodes;
• when a computation result satisfies a predetermined condition, determining the computation result [A]T as an acknowledged candidate result by the one of the other participating nodes, and broadcasting the computation result [A]T.
