Claim 13:
14. A computer readable storage medium comprising non-transitory computer-executable instructions that, when executed, configure a processor to:
determine a correlation matrix having correlation coefficients representing the correlation between data processed at each interface of a node, wherein the data corresponds to a blockchain object;
receive data at a receiving interface of the node;
select at least one of a plurality of other interfaces of the node, and relaying the received data from the selected at least one interface, wherein the correlation coefficients are used to determine the uniqueness of a received transaction at the receiving interface;
determine a malicious node is present in the network using the correlation coefficients based on the received transaction; and
in response to the determination of a malicious node, remove the malicious node.
