  • Publication number: 20180191503
    Abstract: The Asynchronous Crypto Asset Transfer and Social Aggregating, Fractionally Efficient Transfer Guidance, Conditional Triggered Transaction, Datastructures, Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“SOCOACT”) transforms transfer of assets (TOA) initiation request inputs via SOCOACT components into TOA confirmation outputs. A crypto asset transfer notification is sent to a first entity from a second entity. Account verification data generated by the second entity is determined. A set of account data stored by the first entity is retrieved and used to generate a hash. It is verified that the determined account verification data matches the generated hash. A requested asset is determined. An API call to generate a crypto token asset for the requested asset in a socially aggregated blockchain datastructure is made. An address of an aggregated crypto transaction trigger entry is determined. Oracle data that satisfies the crypto smart rule is provided.

  • Publication number: 20180176013
    Abstract: The Firmware Extension for Secure Cryptocurrency Key Backup, Restore, and Transaction Signing Platform Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“SFTSP”) transforms transaction signing request, key backup request, key recovery request inputs via SFTSP components into transaction signing response, key backup response, key recovery response outputs. A key backup request that includes an encrypted master key associated with a hosting HSM is received by a backup HSM from a backup utility. A private key decryption key corresponding to a public key encryption key previously provided by the backup HSM to the backup utility for the hosting HSM is retrieved from the backup HSM's tamper-proof storage and used to decrypt the encrypted master key. A specified number of master key shares to generate for the decrypted master key is determined and generated using a secret sharing method. The generated master key shares are provided to the backup utility.
