  • Patent number: 10127552
    Abstract: A system includes a memory and a processor. The memory may store a customer account associated with a customer and an enterprise account associated with an enterprise. The processor may be communicatively coupled to the memory and may cause the system to receive a request to deposit a first amount of a cryptocurrency in the customer account from the customer. The processor may also cause the system to determine a public key associated with the customer account and receive the first amount of the cryptocurrency. The processor may further cause the system to determine a first value approximately equivalent to the first amount of cryptocurrency and associate the first value with the customer account. The processor is further able to aggregate the first amount of cryptocurrency with an aggregated amount of the cryptocurrency in the enterprise account and facilitate securing the public key in the enterprise account.

  • Patent number: 10019709
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems, methods, and computer-program products for anonymizing a user utilizing oblivious transfer. In this way, the invention establishes a common index to identify members of a population sample, anonymizes the identities of sample members to each party, and exchanges statistics and characteristics of the sample population. The invention creates a common searchable index and anonymizes the sample members of the database via encryption of identification of individual customers in each sample. Each encryption provides for a strong encryption with a key and a homomorphic encryption. The homomorphic encryption allows for multiplication and/or addition on ciphertexts that, once decrypted, match the result that would have occurred had the operations been carried out on the plaintext. In some embodiments, the encryption may be either partially- or fully-homomorphic cryptosystems.
