Synchronization of data in an asynchronous environment

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• instructions being executable by the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform actions comprising:
• receiving, by a first node within an asynchronous data network from a source node within the asynchronous data network, a data packet comprising a header, wherein the header comprises a value concatenating a hash that indicates current data, a timestamp, and a key, the key identifying which data elements are hashed, wherein the key is encrypted;
• comparing, by the first node, the current data with stored data stored by the first node;
• and
• based at least in part on comparing the current data with stored data stored by the first node, requesting, by the first node, synchronization of the first node with the source node.

One or more non-transitory computer storage media comprising instructions stored thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform actions comprising:

• receiving, by a first node within an asynchronous data network from a source node within the asynchronous data network, a data packet comprising a header, wherein the header comprises a value concatenating a hash that indicates current data, a timestamp, and a key, the key identifying which data elements are hashed, wherein the key is encrypted;
• comparing, by the first node, the current data with stored data stored by the first node;
• and
• based at least in part on comparing the current data with stored data stored by the first node, requesting, by the first node, synchronization of the first node with the source node.
