  • Patent number: 11899629
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a decentralized database associating public keys and communications addresses. A signed secret message may be sent by a validator computing device of a peer-to-peer network for a decentralized database to a communications address from a request for verification entry in a verification queue of the decentralized database. A second request for verification including the communications address and a user-signed secret message may be received. The user-signed secret message may be verified using a public key from the request for verification entry in the verification queue. The communications address and public key may be written to a verified database of the decentralized database when verifying the user-signed secret message causes a number of user-signed secret messages received in requests for verification with the communications address and successfully verified to meet a threshold number.

  • Patent number: 11886459
    Abstract: A data management system includes a processor. An estimated ETL level mapping processing unit is operated on the processor to estimate existence of unregistered ETL that is ETL not registered in a repository, to calculate a degree of similarity based on matching between an existing data model and retained data, and to extract a column to be a candidate based on the degree of similarity. The existence of the unregistered ETL is estimated by estimating the presence or absence of connectedness in the ETLs on the basis of correspondence between input data and output data in ETLs by using an execution ETL log relevant to an execution history of the ETL.
