    Distribution ensure integrity of data. Let’s say we sign a contract, cryptographically sign it and all that good stuff but then oh no, where we stored your contract went up in fire and now I don’t have to honour that contract. (contrived example I know)

      All parties who are involved in the contract can store a copy of a contract, even if it’s not distributed to everyone else.

      The signing ensures the integrity of the data, whether using a public block chain or not.

      The signed document can be distributed as widely as you’d like - it doesn’t need to be attached to a block chain to do this.
