Signature
Imagery could be produced by any
device. Information about device
identity, position, status, ownership, etc.
is collected and organized to contribute
to a signature.
The resulting signature, which
in fact contains many
information about imagery
and its source, is sent to the
shared ledger for being stored
permanently.
Files are not identified by
their names but by their
signatures.

Why Blockchain 4 AI?
• We train AI algorithms with data that we Humans
produce
• Training data may be affected by BIASES
• AI may give responses that we cannot understand
(including wrong ones)
• The «this black box does work but it is very black» is
not scientific

• Cross Validation through distribution and composition,
• Composition triggered by request.
• Guide principle: “reproducible results” have more Value.

Networking & Consensus Management
(COTS platform)
Algorithms
(XAI + Processing)
Signature Generation
(Specialized for EO)
Overall Controller
CAS
Interface
We designed a node in this way
An overall controller contains specialized functionalities. Some of them are
delegated to COTS components. Functions specifically made vertical for
EO are “Algorithms” and “Signature Generation”. CAS (Content
Addressable Storage) is made accessible by a dedicated interface.
