Abstract: A framework for managing data on a decentralized network is disclosed. The framework is designed to manage two conflicting forces, openness and control, in order to provide scalable trust on trustless networks. To manage this conflict, a flexible, decentralized governance model is disclosed to enable any DLT user to create and manage data contexts, a virtual boundary for controlling data rights, meaning, and value so as to produce accountable, trusted data with full provenance. The framework does not need to determine who should be trusted, how the trust network forms, or how meaning is developed while providing a governance model by which any authorized user can contribute meaning (properties) and monetize attributable data (attestations).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for secured, peer-to-peer transfer of data rights over a computer network, the method being accomplished by a decentralized computing system including a distributed ledger platform and an off-chain data host platform. A data owner authorizes the minting and distribution of an on-chain authorization token using the distributed ledger. The authorization token includes primary and secondary encryption levels to ensure secure data transfer. The authorization tokens are used to track data access rights, enforce access policies, and control distribution of encryption keys transferred between the data owner, an administrator, a recipient, and/or a delegate.

Abstract: A Decentralized Trusted Control Plan (D-TCP) to provide a means to define object behaviors without the need for coding on a decentralized computing network. The D-TCP implements pluggable logic through a multitude of decentralized registries with pre-defined code snippets stored on a decentralized network. The D-TCP links the applicable code selected from the registries to create desired functionality while maintaining platform security and providing economic incentives for fostering growth of the multitude of decentralized registries.

Abstract: A system and method for secured, multi-lateral, assured data transfer over a computer network for the assured exchange of data between counterparties related to qualifying transactions, the method being accomplished by a distributed computing system including a distributed ledger platform and an off-chain data host platform. On-chain authorization tokens are used to track data access rights, enforce access policies, and control distribution of encryption keys.

Abstract: An apparatus, computer-readable medium, and computer-implemented method to facilitate scalable compliance and issuer governance of decentralized financial transactions especially for the trade and transfer of tokenized securities. The resulting Compliance Aware Tokens contain the rulesets to restrict transactions and facilitate regulatory reporting and oversight. The embodied process, includes of a novel combination of compliance workflows, attribute verification tools, smart contracts and other ledger controls, provides a decentralized Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) capability. ABAC patterns are extended to govern global financial transactions without the need for an active intermediary.

Abstract: To achieve no code or low code parity in decentralized computing systems, disclosed implementations provide a data structure and trusted control plane that enables the creation and operation of composable objects, that is objects whose functions and properties are derived from configurable and upgradable templates. The templates are data structures that define the behavior of a collection of objects, the behaviors being the interfaces, functions, properties, events, triggers, error messages, and dependencies that define and object and its interaction with other objects and entities. Templates are configured by mapping the desired object behaviors to registered smart contract logic that affects the behaviors. Thus, complex objects can be composed without the need for new computer code. Additional logic to enable new behaviors can be added by authorized smart contract developers and, once certified, added to one or more templates to provide the objects access to the new capabilities.
