  • Patent number: 11818266
    Abstract: Methods and systems for cryptographically secured data validation. The system includes a first validator. The first validator is designed and configured to receive a first instance of an immutable sequential data structure containing at least a first digitally signed textual element containing at least a first physical asset transfer field populated with a at least a first physical asset transfer datum and at least a second digitally signed textual element generated by a second validator. The first validator authenticates the first instance of the immutable sequential data structure. The first validator generates at least a second validity indicating a determination by the first validator as to the accuracy of the at least a first physical asset transfer field. The first validator detects a conflict between the first validity flag and the second validity flag. The first validator transmits to the at least a second validator an indication of the conflict.
