  • Publication number: 20200193032
    Abstract: Systems and methods for peer-to-peer secure document exchange are disclosed. The system may allow a document provider to securely transmit a certified document to a document verifier using decentralized storage. The verifier system may generate a session key pair and transmit the session public key to a trusted API provider. The trusted API provider may generate a session nonce. The verifier system may transmit the session nonce to the provider system. The provider system may use the session nonce to retrieve the session public key. The provider system may encrypt a certified document using the session public key and store the encrypted certified document in the decentralized storage. The verifier system may retrieve the encrypted certified document by polling the trusted API provider based on the session nonce. The verifier system may decrypt the encrypted certified document using the session private key.

  • Patent number: 10642967
    Abstract: A single sign-on system using blockchain is disclosed. The single sign-on system may interconnect various organization systems over a peer-to-peer network, with each organization system having a blockchain node and an application programming interface (API). The blockchain node invokes and uses a smart contract to write registration credentials to the blockchain during a registration process. During a login process, the blockchain node invokes the smart contract to determine whether login credentials match stored login credentials in the blockchain. In response to matching login credentials, the API may generate a single sign-on token that can be used by a user device to access one or more organization systems connected over the network.
