Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) aka Blockchain

A distributed ledger is a type of database that is shared and updated independently by each participant or node in a large network. The distributed ledger records transactions among network participants. Changes to the ledger are made only when network participants agree to do so by consensus, and every record has a timestamp and unique cryptographic signature that enables accurate auditing.

Blockchain is essentially a kind of distributed ledger that records transactions in a public or private peer-to-peer network. Information is added onto the ledger in cryptographic hash-link blocks, with each new block linked to the previous block in a chain.

TRAI and DLT

The draft Regulations require access providers to record the consent and preferences of users on a consent register and a preference register respectively, using DLT. The user is further given the option to withdraw consent, if the consent is abused or is no longer relevant. This is meant to independently and cryptographically secure the user’s information to enable a consensus based bookkeeping of their consent and preferences. Consensus is key to lowering the risk of fraudulent transactions, because it ensures that all transactions are recorded with every participant’s consent. Thus, for tampering to occur, it must be approved by all the participants in the network at exactly the same time. This is enabled through consensus algorithms.
