According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer-implemented method for verifying that an identified transaction is stored in a blockchain. A blockchain uniform resource indicator (BURI) character string is obtained. The BURI character string is parsed to identify delimiter characters therein, and thereby extracting one or more Merkle proof portions and a transaction identifier portion separated by the delimiter characters, the Merkle proof portion(s) for verifying that the identified transaction belongs to an identified block. At least part of the BURI is used to obtain a Merkle root hash. The Merkle proof portion(s) is used to determine whether the transaction identifier portion is valid against the Merkle root hash, thereby verifying the identified transaction using the BURI character string, without accessing a payload of the identified block.
A computer-implemented method for verifying that an identified transaction is stored in a blockchain, the method comprising:
A referencing blockchain transaction comprising, in an output at a first index of the referencing blockchain transaction, a blockchain uniform resource indicator (BURI) character string for referencing an identified transaction previously stored on the blockchain in an identified block, the BURI comprising a transaction identifier portion and a further portion, the transaction identifier portion and the further portion being separated by at least one delimiter character, the further portion being a hierarchical component for further defining the identified transaction.
A computer implemented method of communicating data stored in an identified transaction to a verifying entity, the method comprising:
