Patent number: 11930023Abstract: A deep-learning based method evaluates similarities of entities in decentralized identity graphs. One or more processors represent a first identity profile as a first identity graph and a second identity profile as a second identity graph. The processor(s) compare the first identity graph to the second identity graph, which are decentralized identity graphs from different identity networks, in order to determine a similarity score between the first identity profile and the second identity profile. The processor(s) then implement a security action based on the similarity score.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ashish Kundu, Arjun Natarajan, Kapil Kumar Singh, Joshua F.

Patent number: 11245727Abstract: A method provides a network-agnostic identity broker for retrieving identity records across heterogeneous identity networks. An identity broker receives a client request from a client to retrieve and evaluate user identity information for confirming an identity of a particular entity. The identity broker utilizes a group membership of the client to select a set of policies for handling the client request, and selects an identity network from multiple heterogeneous identity networks as a selected identity network to which the client request is to be sent. The identity broker sends the client request to the selected identity network, and then receives a response from the selected identity network. The identity broker evaluates the response according to the set of policies, such that the evaluated response conforms with the set of policies, and transmits the evaluated response to the client.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kapil Kumar Singh, Joshua F.

Patent number: 10958628Abstract: A blockchain hierarchy comprises an arrangement of blockchain channels organized such that a blockchain channel at a lower level feeds data to another blockchain channel, e.g., a relatively higher level. At least one blockchain channel comprises a private autonomous subset of peers in the set of peers that comprise the blockchain network. Within that particular subset, one of the peers is elected as a leader entity, which has the capability of also joining another private or public blockchain channel, e.g., one at a higher level in the hierarchy. The leader entity includes a capability to enforce a data protection policy within the blockchain channel that it leads. To this end, the leader filters or declassifies data based on some task-specific (or blockchain channel-specific) data protection policy, and it then makes that data available to one or more other blockchain channels in the hierarchy (directly or indirectly).Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Kapil Kumar Singh

Patent number: 10958417Abstract: A blockchain hierarchy comprises an arrangement of blockchains organized in a tree-like manner such that a blockchain at a lower level feeds data to a blockchain at a relatively higher level. At least one blockchain comprises a private autonomous group of peers that are involved in a particular task. Within that particular group of peers, preferably one of the peers is elected as a leader entity, which has the capability of also joining another private or public blockchain, e.g., one at a higher level in the hierarchy. The leader entity includes a capability to enforce a data protection policy within the blockchain that it leads. To this end, the leader filters or declassifies data based on some task-specific (or blockchain-specific) data protection policy, and it then makes that data available to one or more other blockchains in the hierarchy (directly or indirectly).Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Kapil Kumar Singh

Patent number: 10944560Abstract: A processor-implemented method facilitates identity exchange in a decentralized setting. A first system performs a pseudonymous handshake with a second system that has created an identity asset that identifies an entity. The second system has transmitted the identity asset to a third system, which is a set of peer computers that support a blockchain that securely maintains a ledger of the identity asset. The first system transmits a set of pseudonyms to the third system, where the set of pseudonyms comprises a first pseudonym that identifies the first system, a second pseudonym that identifies a user of the second system, and a third pseudonym that identifies the third system. The first system receives the identity asset from the third system, which securely ensures a validity of the identity asset as identified by the first pseudonym, the second pseudonym, and the third pseudonym.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2018Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Suresh N.
