Abstract

This paper presents a new blockchain architecture based on Proof of History (PoH) — a proof for verifying order and passage of time between events. PoH is ...

...have seen the same sequence, dramatically reducing the communication required. Proof of History provides exactly this: a cryptographic clock that produces a verifiable record ...

Outline

The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. We first describe the Proof of History mechanism in detail, explaining its construction from sequential SHA-256 hashin...

Proof of History

Proof of History is a sequence of computations that provides a cryptographic way to verify the p...

Proof of History Sequence

The Proof of History sequence is a continuous stream of hash computations that serves as the backbon...
