Abstract: A system and method (referred to as a system) processes a vehicle title interfaced to an issuance authority by authenticating a user and mapping the user's credentials. The system executes registration and titling activities over a network with an issuance authority in response to the authentication of a token. The system retrieves a user membership private key from a private key vault and instantiates smart contracts that commit a transaction associated with a registration of a physical asset with the issuance authority. The system signs the smart contracts with a cryptographic private key not assigned to the user membership in response to establishing a proof of claim to the physical asset and invokes a service discovery that identifies availability of on-line certificate attesting peer nodes to attest the transaction. The system instantiates of the smart contracts on a title issuance authority blockchain network hosted by the issuance authority or provisioned to them in a managed services deployment.
