Was reading up a bit about securing audit logs for software environments. The audit log is a record of mutations to content. You can make the audit log verifiable by including a hash with the current contents and a reference to the previous record. The resulting hash chain let's you know nothing has been removed in between records and the records themselves are unchanged.

Who knew I'd be reading about a useful application of chained records today.
