It is described a method for certifying data containing a sequence of transactions
comprising the following steps:
- finding a new transaction added to the sequence;
- computing a certification code for the new transaction taking into consideration
all data preceding the transaction in the preserved order;
- saving the computed certification codes.
In particular, each transaction will carry a certification code and a sequence
number that uniquely identify all the data received up to the transaction. By saving
the progressive transaction count and the relative certification code it become
possible, at a later time, to verify the integrity of the whole data.
The described certification method allows the use of electronic certification
in the accounting world.
