Computer “block chain” is protected against any modification, each of which contains the identifier of its predecessor. The blockchain records a set of data such as a date, a cryptographic signature associated with the sender and a whole set of other specific elements. All these exchanges can be traced, consulted and downloaded free of charge on the Internet, by anyone who wishes to check the validity and non-falsification of the database in real time. The major advantage of this device is the ability to store a proof of information with each transaction in order to be able to prove later and at any moment the existence and content of this original information at a given moment. Its mission is, therefore, to create trust by protocolizing a digital asset or database by making it auditable.
