  • Publication number: 20250219843
    Abstract: A method for digital asset transfer between an owner of the digital asset and a designated receiver is provided. The digital asset transfer can involve receiving from the owner of the digital asset an encrypted digital asset, wherein the encrypted digital asset is encrypted by a cryptographic key and a release criteria, upon which the owner of the encrypted digital asset is to transfer the encrypted digital asset. A decryption key can be received to decrypt the encrypted digital asset, wherein the decryption key is received from the owner of the encrypted digital asset, and wherein the decryption key corresponds to the cryptographic key. When the release criteria is met, the encrypted digital asset can be sent to the designated receiver.

  • Patent number: 11930110
    Abstract: Methods and systems of recovering a cryptographic key associated with a blockchain based computer network, including encryption of at least a portion of a cryptographic key of the computer network with a recovery public key, sending of the encrypted at least a portion of the cryptographic key to at least one second computing device, sending of a recovery private key to a recovery escrow service, detection that the at least one first computing device is unavailable, publishing the recovery private key in a public repository, retrieving the recovery private key from the public repository, and decryption of the encrypted at least a portion of the cryptographic key by the at least one second computing device.

  • Publication number: 20240022643
    Abstract: Systems and methods of securing interface to a blockchain based network, including generating, by a server, a proxy communication layer for communication between the server and a computerized device, wherein the proxy communication layer replaces an IP address of the computerized device with another IP address, intercepting, by the server, data communicated through the proxy communication layer, and blocking, by the server, unauthorized communication data intercepted by the server, wherein communication requests associated with unauthorized IP addresses are blocked, where the server is in communication with the blockchain based network, and wherein the server provides a web interface to decentralized applications of the blockchain based network.
