Answer: (b)
Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)
- A ledger is the principal book or computer file for recording and totaling economic transactions measured in terms of a monetary unit of account by account type, with debits and credits.
- Distributed ledger technology (DLT) is a digital system for recording the transaction of assets in which the transactions and their details are recorded in multiple places at the same time.
- It is a database that exists across several locations or among multiple participants.
- Unlike traditional databases, distributed ledgers have no central data store or administration functionality.
- There is no central authority that acts as arbitrator or monitor.
- While centralized databases are prone to cyber-attack, distributed ledgers are inherently harder to attack because all the distributed copies need to be attacked simultaneously for an attack to be successful.
- Blockchain is one type of a distributed ledger. Unlike blockchain, a distributed ledger does not necessarily need to have a data structure in blocks.
