  • Publication number: 20200167745
    Abstract: Disclosed are a data management system and method of distributing a digital content file by using an on-off hybrid blockchain network technology, in which transaction information data having a large volume is processed on an off-blockchain network and the final results of each transaction are recorded on an on-blockchain network. The system and method have an advantage of increasing the number of transactions that can be processed per second, thereby enabling distribution of a large volume of data. In addition, the system and method can encourage every node across a network to participate in distribution of data as file senders by rewarding each of the nodes for the participation on the basis of the contribution of each node.

  • Patent number: 9830433
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for creating an electronic document file comprising monitoring creation and changes of an electronic document file, receiving a policy file including document level set-up information and security policy, searching for words associated with business information from the text data retrieved from the electronic document file, computing an exposure score of the electronic document file based on the number of times for words associated with business information being searched and document level set-up information, assigning a document level to the electronic document file based on the exposure score, and inserting a watermark to text of the electronic document file to be displayed on the client device based on the user's personal information received from the server. Accordingly, leakage of business documents for electronic document files including business information can be prevented by providing pre-security and post-security measures stronger than conventional measures.
