  • Patent number: 11880383
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for notarized communication between platform systems is provided. A first data object is notarized by storing a first root hash value at a blockchain network. The first root hash value is notarized in response to a transaction request received through a first notarization interface instantiated at a first platform system. A subscription for the first platform system is established to provide notification events in relation to a second data object. The first root hash value comprises an object reference to a second root hash value for the second data object. A notification event is sent for the second data object to the first platform system, comprising a third root hash value of a third data object associated with the second data object. The third data objects is notarized at the blockchain network by the second platform system through a second notarization interface.

  • Patent number: 11201747
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for federated data management between partner systems is provided. A hash structure is generated for a first data object and includes a first root hash value. The hash structure maps properties of the first data object with corresponding visibility levels for the first data object. The first root hash value is notarized to store the first root hash value in a blockchain network. A request is received to share data for the first data object from a first partner system to a second partner system. The first partner system determines the data to be shared with the second partner system based on a visibility criteria defined in relation to the first data object and the second partner system. The data and a hash proof for the data for verification of authenticity of the data is shared with the second partner system.

  • Patent number: 10795945
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for a digital document engine for multi-entity process integration. A digital document system accesses a digital document configuration file identifying entities entering into an agreement, an initial set of terms, and a modification to the initial set of terms corresponding to a triggering event. The digital document system generates a digital document based on the digital document configuration file, the digital document including computer readable code to cause the initial set of terms to be modified according to the modification in response to occurrence of the triggering event. The digital document is stored to a distributed database, wherein it is invokable by the entities for enforcement. When invoked, the computer readable code causes a computing device to determine whether the triggering event occurred and modify the initial set of terms based on the modification when the triggering event has occurred.

  • Patent number: 10623190
    Abstract: Techniques are described for anonymity in private-permissioned, distributed ledger networks. A transaction application is implemented by a mediating member of a private-permissioned, distributed ledger network. The mediating member may utilize the transaction application to execute network transactions with respect to the distributed ledger network. In the network transactions, a surrogate member implements or otherwise facilitates the network transaction on behalf of, or with respect to, a participant, in the context of a plurality of related network transactions being mediated by the mediating member for a plurality of participants. In this way, the mediation may be conducted anonymously, while still utilizing the features of the private-permissioned, distributed ledger network.
