  • Publication number: 20230396456
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a secure hardware cryptographic keystore for custody of cryptocurrency funds (and other digital such as NFTs) which ensures no individual participant in key generation or transaction signing ever has access to the full key or even a complete key-part, thereby eliminating the traditional need to rotate keys and re-encrypt data when authorized key-holders change. The system includes an air-gapped key generator machine and an air-gapped transaction signing machine that lack network communications capabilities. The key generator machine receives an entropy source and produces sets of public/private key pairs for use on a cryptocurrency blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11182366
    Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to methods and systems for comparing data stored in disparate parallel systems using hash sums. A database having a parallel system architecture may comprise a plurality of nodes each storing a plurality of records. A central node may initiate parallel calculation of a set of node hash sums for each individual node. Calculating a node hash sum for an individual node may comprise calculating, by the individual node, a set of hash values for each individual record of the plurality of records stored by the individual node and combining each hash value of the set of hash values to generate the node hash sum for the individual node. The central processor may combine each node hash sum to generate a database hash sum. The central processor may store the generated database hash sum and/or utilize it in comparisons with database hash sums for other databases.

  • Patent number: 9679015
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an apparatus including a memory and a processor is provided. The memory may store a plurality of conversion rules. The processor may receive a first script and determine a first type associated with the first script, a plurality of variables included in the first script, and a first layout associated with the first script. The processor may determine that at least one conversion rule of the plurality of conversion rules should be applied. The processor may determine a second type, a second variable, and a second layout. The processor may generate a second script associated with the second type and the second layout, the second script comprising the second variable, the second script executable against a database comprising a plurality of database processors.
