Explanation

Blockchain provides a decentralized, immutable ledger that records transactions transparently across multiple parties. This enables nonrepudiation because once a transaction is recorded on the blockchain, it cannot be altered or denied by any party involved. Additionally, blockchain does not require a central trusted authority, as the consensus mechanism ensures trust and verification across all participants. While PKI is also effective for nonrepudiation, it typically involves a trusted certificate authority. Blockchain, on the other hand, eliminates the need for such an intermediary, making it ideal for scenarios where mutual trust is not required.
