Abstract: An operator for a global total order broadcast domain executing a method to send an operation out of band to nodes of participating parties in a partition, receive a certificate and a signature on the operation for each of the participating parties, generate a single party packet based on the received signatures, generate a random symmetric encryption key, send the random symmetric encryption key to the participating parties, encrypt the single party packet with the random symmetric encryption key, generate a pseudo random string for the partition, and record an operation identifier, the encrypted party packet, and the pseudo random string on the global total order broadcast domain.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for establishing consensus in a blockchain network, a total ordering service for a blockchain network, and a computer program product. One embodiment may comprise providing a first total ordering service (TOS) gateway for an organization in a blockchain network, generating a symmetric key at the first TOS gateway, splitting the symmetric key to generate a plurality of key shares, and distributing at least one of the plurality of key shares to a second TOS gateway in the blockchain network. The TOS gateway in some embodiments may have read/write access to a shared message queue that makes messages available to each other TOS gateway in the blockchain network. Some embodiments may further comprise recovering the symmetric key by requesting one of the key shares from the second gateway in the blockchain network, and reconstructing the symmetric key using the one of the key shares.

Abstract: A node in a blockchain network may generate a configuration override for the blockchain network, approve the configuration override by the blockchain network, transmit the approval for the configuration override to peers in the blockchain network, and submit the configuration override to the blockchain network for validation. The validation will be based on the configuration override matching the approval.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of receiving event data from an entity, determining the event data satisfies an endorsement policy, setting an identifier that corresponds to a context of the event data, generating an event which includes the event data and the identifier, and submitting the event for recording in a decentralized database, wherein the identifier is used to validate that a state corresponding to the context in the event data is correct.

Abstract: A method for estimating component power usage using aggregate power usage data are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A power estimation model is received, the model correlating a factor of the component with an aggregate power consumption of a set of components during a period, the component being a member of the set of components, the component being a hardware device operating in the data processing environment and consuming electrical power, the factor being a characteristic of the component related to the consumption of the electrical power in the component. A value of the factor at a determined time is received. The value of the factor is applied to the power estimation model to generate an estimate of electrical power consumed by the component. The estimate is output as the estimated power usage of the component when the factor attains the value.
