A method includes distributing a digital ledger among a plurality of nodes of a distributed decentralized control system for an aircraft engine. The distributed decentralized control system includes the plurality of nodes and an engine control. The method further includes, responsive to the occurrence of a trigger event, performing a security approval for each of the plurality of nodes based at least in part on node configuration data for each of the plurality of nodes and a system configuration block. The security approval confirms whether each of the plurality of nodes is authorized. Each node of the plurality of nodes has a unique node configuration data associated therewith. The method further includes, responsive to confirming that each of the plurality of nodes is authorized, updating the digital ledger among the plurality of nodes and the engine control.
