The article shows the relevance of improving the procedures for collecting and processing information in the interests of supporting decision-making on the basis of a unified software platform for network examinations, the priority of which is to ensure the reliability of information in a network of expert examinations of solution options that is protected from unauthorized access and functioning in systems with limited computing power with a given fault tolerance information processing networks. The feasibility of solving the problem using a decentralized blockchain technology for managing access to information, creating a secure distributed database of participants and organizers of network expertise, providing tracking, verification and execution of transaction transactions with decentralized distributed information storage and setting time stamps for all completed transactions, is justified. The architecture of a unified system for conducting network examination and storing data about experts is proposed, consisting of technological levels interacting throughout the examination to ensure cryptographically safe voting of experts in an environment with verified evidence. Due to the fact that copies of the blockchain are stored in nodes of a distributed network, the platform is resistant to problems with temporary or permanent disconnection of nodes associated with equipment or communication failures, as well as connecting new nodes. By integrating blockchain technology with docker container technology, the platform can be combined into a single block and then easily deployed in the required scalable environments. The operations performed, collected in blocks, are sorted in chronological order, allowing participants of the network examination to receive reliable information on all changes in the history that occurred in the network. The result is non-cancellable transactions agreed upon by all participants in the examination decentralized. The proposed technology makes it possible to provide the required information reliability when carrying out network examinations of solution options in systems with limited computing power with a specified fault tolerance.
