  • Patent number: 11922398
    Abstract: Delegated administration of permissions using a contactless card. In one example, a permissions module may receive a request from a first account to grant a second account access to a computing resource. The permissions module may receive permissions data of the first account from a contactless card and encrypted data generated by the contactless card. The permissions module may transmit the permissions data and the encrypted data to an authentication server, which may verify the encrypted data based at least in part on the private key, and determine, based on the permissions data, that the first account has permissions to grant access to the computing resource. The permissions module may receive, from the authentication server, an indication of the verification of the encrypted data and a permissions vector associated with the second account, the permissions vector reflecting the grant of access to the computing resource to the second account.

  • Patent number: 11887121
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing digital identities associated with users. One exemplary method includes receiving, at a computing device, an encrypted message from a communication device associated with a user where the message includes a changed attribute for the user. The method also includes generating a first hash of a first digital identity for the user with the changed attribute and generating a second hash of a second digital identity of the user stored in a ledger data structure. And, in response to the first hash not matching the second hash, the method then includes broadcasting a pending status of the first digital identity to a relying party for the second digital identity, and storing a certification of the changed attribute, received from the relying party in response to the pending status, based on verification of the changed attribute by the relying party.

  • Patent number: 11880809
    Abstract: A system and corresponding method exchange a nonfungible token (NFT) via blockchain cross-chain fungible token transfers. The system comprises first and second blockchains. The first blockchain holds the NFT in a first escrow digital wallet. The NFT is available for trade by a seller and is associated with a trade value. The first blockchain monitors a balance of fungible tokens, owned by a buyer, that are transferred from a second blockchain to a second escrow digital wallet of the first blockchain. In response to detecting that the balance monitored represents the trade value, the first blockchain transfers, simultaneously, (i) the NFT from the first escrow digital wallet to a first digital wallet of the first blockchain, the first digital wallet owned by the buyer, and (ii) the balance of fungible tokens from the second escrow digital wallet to a second digital wallet of the second blockchain, the second digital wallet owned by the seller.
