Abstract: Various disclosed embodiments pertain to a distributed audit trail system for use in a connected system including: a master unit to control a first aspect of the connected system and to create a blockchain light client and a distributed hash table (DHT); a first node to control a second aspect of the connected system; a second node to control a third aspect of the connected system; and one or more remote servers to form a blockchain full node, where the master unit, the first node, and the second node electronically communicate with each other through the DHT in order to form a combined audit trail, where the master unit creates a meta-hash of the software version of the software in the master unit, the first node, and the second node, system identification data, system sensor data, and system hardware configuration.

Abstract: Techniques for communicating between a first satellite payload in an electronic distributed ledger network and a second satellite payload in the electronic distributed ledger network are presented. The techniques include: providing, by the first satellite payload and to the distributed ledger network, a request for a service; obtaining, by the first satellite payload, a service response from the second satellite payload and an indication of compliance with a policy concerning the service; determining, by the first satellite payload, and based on the indication of compliance, whether the service response conforms to the policy concerning the service; and acting on the service response, by the first satellite payload, based on the determining.

Abstract: A method of creating a virtual asset based on an existing real-world asset is disclosed. The method includes digitally sequencing the existing real-world asset to create a digital sequence of the real-world asset; tokenizing the digital sequence of the real-world asset to create a tokenized digital sequence; associating the tokenized digital sequence with the real-world asset; and creating a title of ownership of the tokenized digital sequence.
