Various embodiments of the multi-node architecture enable private and public distributed ledgers (e.g., blockchains) that enhance security, enhance confidentiality, and eliminate the need to trust the provider/hosts of the data validation information and/or the hosts of the confidential information.

Abstract: Techniques for managing data transactions are described and are implementable to enable data transactions (e.g., payment transactions) to be automatically generated in response to different conditions. In implementations, user interactions to generate payment transactions are tracked at different locations over different time durations. Accordingly, when payment transactions at a particular location reach a threshold, a data transaction record can be generated. The data transaction record can be used to automatically generate subsequent data transactions. Further, application presence across different devices can be used to generate data transactions.

Abstract: Provided herein are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof for controlling access to a website. In some embodiments, a user scans a machine-readable indicia with their mobile device to access a backend redirect page. The backend redirect page receives the access request, generates a unique session identifier, and configures a dynamic address based on the unique session identifier. The backend redirect page redirects the mobile device to an intake page of a website using the dynamic address for that page. Whenever the user attempts to load a page in the website using the corresponding dynamic address, an intake backend for frontend verifies the validity of the unique session identifier associated with the dynamic address. A session monitor tracks the amount of time since the unique session identifier was generated and invalidates the unique session identifier after a predetermined amount of time has passed.
