Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising: one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions which are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
sending, by a validator computing device of a peer-to-peer network for a decentralized database, to a communications address from a request for verification entry in a verification queue of the decentralized database, a signed secret message, wherein the validator computing device is one of the one or more computers;
receiving, by the validator computing device, a second request for verification comprising the communications address and a user-signed secret message;
verifying, by the validator computing device, the user-signed secret message using a public key from the request for verification entry in the verification queue; and
writing, by the validator computing device, the communications address and public key to a verified database of the decentralized database when verifying the user-signed secret message causes a number of user-signed secret messages received in requests for verification with the communications address and successfully verified to meet a threshold number or writing, by the validator computing device, the second request for verification to the verification queue with the user-signed secret message when verifying the user-signed secret message does not cause a number of user-signed secret messages received in requests for verification with the communications address and successfully verified to meet the threshold number.
