SECURE PROVISION OF UNDETERMINED DATA FROM AN UNDETERMINED SOURCE INTO THE LOCKING SCRIPT OF A BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTION

摘要

The invention relates to distributed ledge technologies such as consensus-based blockchains. The methods and systems of the present disclosure are provided for causing an injection of a serialized set of field values of an unlocking transaction into a locking script are described. The invention is implemented using a blockchain network, which may for example be a Bitcoin blockchain. A in first transaction to validate is received at a node in the blockchain network. The first transaction includes a first script that includes a set of field values of the first transaction and, as a result of being executed, causes the node to obtain a set of field values. A second transaction is obtained, with the second transaction having been validated. The second transaction includes a second script that, as a result of being executed, causes the node to generate a signature based at least in part on the set of field values supplied as a result of execution of the first script. The first transaction is validated by execution of the first script and the second script.
