Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

It is desired to make it possible to verify data more properly while effectively utilizing resources. There is provided an information processing apparatus including a verification unit that verifies predetermined data using first data obtained from the predetermined data and second data obtained from a P2P database.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An information processing apparatus, comprising: circuitry configured to: request a peer-to-peer (P2P) network to verify specific data, wherein the verification of the specific data is based on first data obtained from the specific data and second data obtained from a P2P database, the first data is represented by first information regarding a starting point and second information regarding a data length in the specific data, the starting point corresponds to a number of bytes that starts from a beginning of a range specified for the specific data, and the data length starts from the starting point; and confirm a verification status of the specific data based on third information obtained from the P2P network. 2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to provide the P2P network with a verification condition for the specific data. 3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the range is obtained from the P2P database. 4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the P2P database is a blockchain. 5. A method, comprising: requesting a peer-to-peer (P2P) network to verify specific data, wherein the verification of the specific data is based on first data obtained from the specific data and second data obtained from a P2P database, the first data is represented by first information regarding a starting point and second information regarding a data length in the specific data, the starting point corresponds to a number of bytes that starts from a beginning of a range specified for the specific data, and the data length starts from the starting point; and confirming a verification status of the specific data based on third information obtained from the P2P network.
