Abstract

An example operation may include one or more of receiving a request to store a skill-based attribute of a user at a database, temporarily storing the skill-based attribute and an identification of one or more storage nodes associated with the skill-based attribute in a temporary data structure of the database, determining whether a predetermined amount of the one or more storage nodes have authenticated the user as having the skill-based attribute, and, in response successful authentication of the skill-based attribute by the predetermined amount of storage nodes, transferring the authenticated skill-based attribute from the temporary data structure to a primary data structure of the database.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computing system comprising:

a network interface configured to receive a plurality of instances of a block that has been endorsed by a plurality of blockchain peers, respectively, wherein the plurality of instances of the block comprise endorsed attributes of a user;
and
a processor configured to
temporarily store the plurality of instances of the block in a temporary data structure,
determine that two instances of the block endorsed by two different blockchain peers corresponding to two different entities comprise endorsements of conflicting data of the user,
select an instance of the block from among the two conflicting instances of the block based on roles of the two entities with respect to the user;
and
transfer the selected instance of the block from the temporary data structure to a blockchain ledger and delete an unselected instance of the block from among the two conflicting instances of the block from the temporary data structure.
