Abstract
In this paper, a method to implement K-Y protocol using Distributed Consensus is discussed. Firstly, the various available methods are discussed. Then, Proof-of-Sovereignty (PoSv) is proposed. Its mechanism is deliberated and its advantages are described vis-a-vis other methods of distributed consensus. Finally a summary of all the procedures involved in 'NationCoin Mining' using PoSv is explained.
