Abstract: Systems and methods for providing data privacy in a private distributed ledger are disclosed. According to another embodiment a distributed ledger network may include a first node comprising a first node computer processor and hosting a central ledger comprising a plurality of entries for public transactions and private transactions, wherein the entries for public transactions comprise transaction payloads for the respective public transaction, and the entries for private transactions comprise a cryptographic hash digest of a transaction payload for the respective private transaction; and a plurality of second nodes each comprising a second node computer processor and hosting a public database comprising the public transactions, and a private database comprising transaction payloads for the private transactions to which the node is a party.

Abstract: A Quorum network comprising an access controlled multi-tenant network is provided that is configured to enable access control and state isolation in a multi-tenancy Ethereum-based distributed ledger system. The access-controlled network includes one or more authenticating servers (also referred to as access controls) for providing permission control to the nodes in the network. In a standard multi-tenant network, each user of an entity (also referred to as an organization) is limited to only transacting with (also referred to as accessing) their own authorized resources. The access-controlled network utilizes an access controller to provide a singular truth for a set of managed nodes through a trusted entity (such as a Network Authorization Server).

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated decentralized multilateral transaction processing are disclosed. According to one embodiment, in an information processing apparatus comprising at least one computer processor, a method for automated decentralized multilateral transaction processing may include: (1) receiving a plurality of transaction requests to conduct a plurality of transactions; (2) determining that a party to a first transaction of the plurality of transactions does not meet a liquidity requirement to conduct the first transaction; (3) executing a netting algorithm to identify a second transaction of the plurality of transactions that when executed allows the first transaction to execute; and (4) executing the first and second transactions.
