Publication number: 20210264054Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for providing auditability of a distributed ledger technology (DLT) of de-identified data of entities, stored in the DLT. In certain embodiments, data related to an entity is de-identified. The de-identified data is stored in the DLT. Access to the de-identified data is determined. Instances of access to the de-identified data is recorded to the DLT. In certain embodiments, information used to re-identify the de-identified data is store on the DLT. Access to the information can also be determined and recorded to the DLT.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2020Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: Chad Anson, Robert N. Fielding, Richard A. Ford, Michael Green, John Holmes, Adam Abraham
