Abstract: A method of distributing geolocation-influenced digital collectables includes instructing the creation of a plurality of first cryptographic tokens representing digital assets with at least one attribute configured to evolve over time; receiving a request to lock the evolution of the digital asset; receiving an indication of a geolocation of the token holder at the time the request to lock is received; and generating, based at least in part on the geolocation, a second cryptographic token having at least one attribute derived from the evolutionary state of the digital asset defined by the first cryptographic token at the time the request to lock was received.

Abstract: The invention provides improved verification solutions for blockchain-implemented transfers. It is suited for, but not limited to, implementation in an SPV wallet. In accordance with one embodiment, a system or resource is provided which comprises a plurality of novel SPV verification components, the activities of which are coordinated by a coordination component. The system enables Bob to send Alice a payment transaction template (template Tx3) and requests: the full transaction data for all input transactions (Tx1, Tx2) comprising at least one output that Alice wants to spend as inputs to a transfer (Tx3); the Merkle path for all input transactions (Tx1, Tx2) linking them to their respective Merkle roots associated with their respective block headers; the completed transfer transaction (Tx3). Alice provides this information plus her signature.

Abstract: A network-based service creates a smart contract on a blockchain on behalf of a user who has a loan or a subscription that requires installment payments be collected by a provider from the user and provided to creditor of the loan or subscription. The smart contract associates a default account of the user with a first access token and non-default registered other accounts of the user with a second access token. The smart contract when presented with the access tokens from a provider determines whether the payment due can be satisfied from a current balance of the default account and if so, transfers the payment from the default account to the provider. If the default lacks sufficient funds for the payment, the smart contract proportions the amounts taken from each of the accounts to reach the amount due and transfers the amount due to the provider.

Abstract: A blockchain agnostic token network is described. In an example, a request to purchase a non-fungible token (NFT) minted on a blockchain from a seller is received. Based at least in part on context data associated with at least one of the user, the seller, or a digital asset associated with the NFT, a plurality of available blockchains is determined for holding the NFT. Information associated with the plurality of blockchains is surfaced and one of the plurality of blockchains is determined for holding the NFT. Based at least in part on the determined blockchain, the NFT is transferred to the determined blockchain and associated with a user account for subsequent viewing.

Abstract: A method for supplying a controlled payment number for use on behalf of a tokenized payment account in a digital wallet for e-commerce includes: receiving, by a wallet server, at least a token identifier from an external computing device, the token identifier being associated with a tokenized payment account in the external computing device; transmitting, by the wallet server, at least the token identifier and a request flag to a processing server; identifying, by the processing server, a transaction account number associated with the token identifier, wherein the transaction account number corresponds to the payment account; identifying, by the processing server, a controlled payment number corresponding to the payment account; receiving, by the wallet server, the identified controlled payment number from the processing server; and transmitting, by the wallet server, the identified controlled payment number to the external computing device.

Abstract: A distributed storage and computing architecture and associated usage techniques are described for providing efficient and secure management of blockchain transaction approval using private encryption keys stored offline, such as via an offline device that stores offline private encryption key(s) and that communicates with an online device using only encoded QR codes and without any inter-device electronic transmissions or communications, or otherwise using private encryption keys stored offline.

Abstract: Example embodiments provide systems and methods for increasing the cryptographic strength of an encryption or message-authentication-code-(MAC) generation technique. According to some embodiments, a MAC may be constructed around a shared secret (such as a random initialization number), thereby increasing strength of the MAC against brute force attacks based on the size of the shared secret. The MAC may be combined with randomized data, and may also be encrypted to further bolster the strength of the code. These elements (shared secret, MAC algorithm, and encryption algorithm) may be employed in various combinations and to varying degrees, depending on the application and desired level of security. At each stage, the cryptographic construct operates on the cyptographically modified data from the previous stage. This layering of cryptographic constructs may increase the strength of the group of contrasts more efficiently than applying any one construct with a larger key size or similar increase in complexity.

Abstract: Systems and methods related to a variable non-fungible token. A variable non-fungible token comprises a non-fungible token that is minted with an indication of a non-transferable ownership wallet (e.g., a digital wallet for which the non-fungible token is minted for), a non-transferable smart contract address that has permissions for updating metadata for the variable non-fungible token, and a metadata property threshold based on a specific user corresponding to the digital wallet.

Abstract: A dynamically regulated advertising delivery control system. A campaign is operated by sending bids to an exchange responsive to receiving bid requests from the exchange, each bid request representing an opportunity to expose a browser to content. Won bid notifications are received from the exchange and exposure notifications are received from exposed browsers. Failed exposures are detected by detecting won bid notification identifiers without corresponding exposure notification identifiers. Responsive to the failed exposures exceeding an upper limit, the campaign is operated in a throttled mode. Responsive to detecting successful exposures in the throttled mode, the campaign is operated in a recovered mode.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a user identity sharing system utilizing a distributed ledger technology security platform. The present invention includes an OFF-CHAIN configured to operate as a regional or national blockchain within a single jurisdiction, in which one or more virtual asset service providers and one or more identity management service providers are participating; and an ON-CHAIN configured to operate as a global blockchain with no borders, in which one or more virtual asset service providers are participating, wherein user identity information of the OFF-CHAIN are shared as de-identified identity information between a virtual asset service provider participating in both the OFF-CHAIN and the ON-CHAIN and another virtual asset service provider participating in the ON-CHAIN, thus preventing forgery of user identity information, and sharing user identity information between virtual asset service providers, other blockchains, distributed ledger technology platforms, and existing IT systems.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for resolving advertisement placement conflicts. Specifically, a number of parameters may be entered into a system in order to distribute advertisements into advertisement slots. In many instances, a combination of these parameters causes a conflict in the system where all the parameters cannot be applied in order to place advertisements into advertisement slots. The conflict may be resolved by using an advertisement assignment model to determine which parameters may be relaxed in order to arrive at an optimal solution that violates a smallest number of parameters having the least priority. When such a solution is found, the advertisement assignment model may be modified and advertisements may be placed into advertisement slots based on the modified advertisement assignment model.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to a fraud detecting system and method for providing protection against fraudulent advertisement requests. Upon receiving a request for an advertisement, the system extracts an identifier, associated with a source from which the request originates, included in the request. The system determines whether the extracted identifier is included in a list of designated identifiers, and when the identifier is included in the list, the system denies the request for the advertisement. When the identifier is not included in the list of designated identifiers, the system provides the advertisement in response to the request, and extracts a set of features from the request and other requests that originate from the source to determine whether the identifier associated with the source is to be included in the list of designated identifiers based on the set of features in accordance with one or more models.
