Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of receiving a block, extracting information from the block, correlating an identifier to the information as previously stored in a first storage area, replacing the information in the block with the identifier, and submitting the block with the identifier for storage in a second storage area. The identifier links to the information previously stored in the first storage area in order to allow for recovery of the information, and at least the second storage area is in a blockchain.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a receiver to receive a block;
- an extractor to extract information from the block;
- a correlator to correlate an identifier to the information as previously stored in a first storage area and to replace the information in the block with the identifier;
- and
- a manager to submit the block with the identifier for storage in a second storage area, wherein the identifier links to the information previously stored in the first storage area in order to allow for recovery of the information and wherein at least the second storage area is in a blockchain.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a block;
- extracting information from the block;
- correlating an identifier to the information as previously stored in a first storage area;
- replacing the information in the block with the identifier;
- and
- submitting the block with the identifier for storage in a second storage area, wherein the identifier links to the information previously stored in the first storage area in order to allow for recovery of the information and wherein at least the second storage area is in a blockchain.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
- receive a block;
- extract information from the block;
- correlate an identifier to the information as previously stored in a first storage area;
- replace the information in the block with the identifier;
- and
- submit the block with the identifier for storage in a second storage area, wherein the identifier links to the information previously stored in the first storage area in order to allow for recovery of the information and wherein at least the second storage area is in a blockchain.
