  • Patent number: 11580534
    Abstract: Auditing of mortgage documents is faster and simpler. An electronic mortgage application often contains or references a collection of many separate electronic mortgage documents. Electronic data representing an original version of an electronic mortgage document and its current version may be hashed to generate digital signatures. Any auditor may then quickly compare the digital signatures. If the digital signatures match, then the audit reveals that the electronic mortgage document has not changed since its creation. However, if the digital signatures do not match, then the electronic mortgage document has changed since its creation. The auditor may thus flag the electronic mortgage document for additional auditing processes.

  • Patent number: 11449864
    Abstract: A system is provided for reissuing obligations whose ownership is recorded in a distributed ledger to preserve the identity of prior owners of the obligations. The system accesses a target transaction in which an issuer has a target obligation to a target owner specified in the target transaction. The target transaction has one or more ancestor transactions that each specify an owner. The system retires the target transaction so that the issuer no longer has the target obligation. The system then receives an indication that the issuer created a reissue transaction in which the issuer has a reissued obligation to the target owner that is specified in the reissue transaction. The reissue transaction does not have any ancestor transactions.
