Abstract
Auditing operations in multi-party data exchange, and over an arbitrary topology, is a common requirement yet still an open problem especially in the case where no trust on any participating party can be presumed. The challenges range from storage of the audit trail to tampering and collusion of participating entities. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based auditing scheme. It is designed based on public key infrastructure and Shamir secret sharing scheme.
