Claim 0:
1. A method for proving an event comprising:
a) receiving, at a beacon node, a request for proving a time and location for an event, wherein the request comprises event data generated by a requesting entity;
b) creating a timestamp for the event using a clock of the beacon node, wherein the clock is synchronized to a trusted time source;
c) generating, by the beacon node, an estimated location of the requesting entity, wherein generating the estimated location comprises: (i) generating an estimated distance or location vector with respect to the requesting node based on a network latency and (ii) using a machine learning algorithm trained model to process the estimated distance or location vector to generate the estimated location;
d) generating a hash code for the timestamp and the event data; and
e) recording the hash code to a ledger at the beacon node.
