A verifiable data structure is a class of data structures that lets people efficiently agree, with cryptographic certainty, that the data contained within it is correct. Verifiable data structures enable building a new class of software that have elements of verifiability and transparency built into the way they operate. This gives us new ways to defend against coercion, introduce accountability to existing and new ecosystems, and make it easier to demonstrate compliance to regulators, customers and partners. We are using these patterns to ensure the integrity of artifacts in the supply chain.”]
