Implementation is provided by having a first user provide a first document to a networked application. An electronic notification is dispatched to a receiver for the first document with a unique link to a data entry page within the networked application. The data entry page is sandboxed with limited functionality within the networked application, but accepts data from the receiver to be sent directly into the first user's system.

Abstract: A system and method for providing an email as a command is disclosed. The system and method include formatting an action in an e-commerce system based on an assigned address, wherein communication with the assigned address initiates the action, and authenticating a message addressed to the assigned address, wherein for a positively authenticated message the action is performed. The system and method may also include receiving the message sent to the assigned address. For negatively authenticated messages, the system and method include providing a sender of the message a sign-up to enable positive authentication. The system and method may include requesting details of the action based on the message. The system and method may include sending an invoice for the action to the address that sent the authenticated message and processing a payment based on a response to the sent invoice.

Abstract: Techniques to perform mathematically and logically rigorous validations for decentralized applications (DApp) communicatively coupled to a distributed ledger are disclosed. A protocol for a business or enterprise process is encoded as a workflow on a labeled transition system as part of a DApp. Transitions are coded via an asynchronous Pi Calculus or other process calculi. A rules engine validates transitions using process calculi operations, or alternatively performing mathematical and logical analyses on the labeled transition system. Validations are disclosed for both development time and run time. In some embodiments, the logic behind the DApp is composed of a predetermined set of components representing processes. In one specific embodiment, the predetermined set of components is solely of an input component and an output component when composed perform a transaction where either both components received artifact representations from the other component or neither do.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a distributed ledger system that can include one or more transaction blocks that are associated with one or more transaction records of an account corresponding to the primary account number. The system may allocate a first type block in a first distributed ledger, and the first type block may be utilized to identify a classification type associated with the first primary account number. The system may receive, at the first node, a first transaction indication associated with the first primary account number. Responsive to receiving the first transaction indication, the system may bind a first transaction block to the first distributed ledger. Transaction blocks may be configured for selective control and/or selective replicated to other nodes of the system. In response to an end-of-cycle indication, the first transaction block may be locked to prevent further modification.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to a method for allowing a user at a first client device to provide access to restricted content on a content provider server to a user at a second client device without providing identifying information of the second client device or the user to the content provider. The content provider receives a request from a messaging app on a first client device for sharing of a content item with a second client device and generates a metadata block comprising at least a link to the content item. The metadata block is sent to the first client device and, in response, a public key of a private/public key pair of the second client device is received from the first client device. A request for the content item, is then received and contains a data item digitally signed using the private key of the private/public key pair of the second client device. The public key is then used to verify the digitally signed data item, thereby confirming the identity of the second client device.
