  • Patent number: 11848754
    Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches a method for delegating user access to one of a set of decentralized networked nodes that share a private permissioned blockchain data structure or a decentralized personal ledger. The method also includes a credentialing logic configured to receive from one of a set of decentralized networked nodes, authority to access a network node to invoke services that conduct operations using a private permissioned blockchain data structure or decentralized personal ledger to which access has been limited to users authorized by one of the set of decentralized networked nodes; and an access delegation logic configured to create a delegation of at least some of the authority to access the network node for a limited duration of time and to send the delegation to a recipient identified to receive delegated authority.

  • Patent number: 11741215
    Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches an implementation for leveraging self-sovereign credentials held on mobile devices to provision credentials that empower one party (“recipient” or “user”, used synonymously herein) to obtain credentialed access to information and resources on behalf of another party (“sender” or “administrator”, used synonymously herein), without either party exposing private key information to each other or to the cloud. The sender is able to revoke user credentials at any time. Parties are able to leverage commodity hardware to automatically mutually authenticate their credentials and access available relevant options and workflows.

  • Patent number: 11741216
    Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches a method for revocation of user credentials for controlling user access to a private permissioned blockchain data structure or decentralized personal ledger, comprising an administrative logic configured to de-configure user private keys from keystores of respective users. The administrative logic further comprises a revocation logic configured to receive a unique identifier linked to a keystore of a particular user in response to the keystore, and the revocation logic is further configured to revoke access of the keystore based on the unique identifier.
