DATA AND SOURCE VALIDATION FOR EQUIPMENT OUTPUT DATA OR EQUIPMENT FAILURE PREDICTION USING BLOCKCHAINS

Abstract: novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing data and source validation for equipment output data and/or for equipment failure predict. in various embodiments, in response to receiving a first request for first data that is output by first equipment, a computing system might retrieve and analyze the first data to determine whether the first data can be trusted. if so, the computing system might send the first data to the requesting device. if not, the computing system might send a second request for identifying a blockchain containing a block containing a copy of the first data. in response to the blockchain system identifying such a blockchain, the computing system might receive the identified blockchain; might abstract the block containing the copy of the first data from the identified blockchain; might abstract the first data from the block; and might send the first data to the requesting device.
