Protokollapino
Protokollapino is a term used in theoretical computer science and IT governance to describe a compact, tamper-evident archive of protocol events drawn from distributed systems. The concept envisions a structured pile or stack that records each exchange, negotiation step, or message in a chronological sequence. The name is a portmanteau of protokolla and pino in Finnish, reflecting its focus on protocol logs stored in stacked layers.
Data model and integrity: A Protokollapino entry includes a timestamp, source and destination identifiers, protocol name,
Implementation and scope: Protokollapino is described as a flexible architecture that can be implemented atop existing
Benefits and challenges: The approach offers tamper-evidence, forensic usefulness, and simplified auditing, while facing challenges in
