  • Patent number: 11687878
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for receiving an index and a random number from a verifier, receiving, from a shared data storage, encrypted supply chain data (SCD) of a supply chain actor (SCA), re-encrypting the encrypted SCD to provide re-encrypted SCD using a public encryption key of a decryption party, executing homomorphic operations on the re-encrypted SCD to provide an encrypted blinded result using second random numbers, receiving an encrypted modified blinded result, generating an encrypted blinded verification result using a verification function, the encrypted blinded result, the encrypted modified blinded result, and the random number, and sending the encrypted blinded verification result for decryption to provide a blinded verification result to the verifier, the verifier determining a verification result based on the blinded verification result and the random number, and comparing the verification result to a product claim.

  • Patent number: 11552794
    Abstract: Systems and methods include determination of a first value to be blinded, determination of a first key value, generation of a first composite value based on the first value and the first key value, performance of a hash operation on the first composite value to generate a first hash value, seeding of a pseudorandom generator with the first hash value to generate a first pseudorandom value, truncation of the first hash value based on the first pseudorandom value to generate a first truncated value, and generation of a blinded value associated with the first value based on a blinding function comprising the first value and the first truncated value.

  • Patent number: 11036872
    Abstract: A blockchain service receives a first request to insert a first value associated with a transaction into a blockchain. In response, the blockchain service calls a commitment service to obtain a commitment based on the first value. The blockchain service then inserts the commitment into the blockchain at a block associated with the transaction. When the blockchain service subsequently receives a second request to confirm whether a second value matches the first value, it can obtain the commitment from the blockchain. This obtained commitment is then passed to the commitment service along with the second value. The blockchain service then receives a confirmation from the commitment service whether the first value matches the second value. The blockchain service can provide a reply to the second request encapsulating the confirmation. Other variations are provided in which residual amount values can be confirmed. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
