  • Patent number: 11968301
    Abstract: Described are techniques for generating and employing decentralized asset identifiers for cross-blockchain network asset transfers, the techniques including registering a decentralized asset identifier to an asset with a local asset identifier, where the decentralized asset identifier is immutable. The techniques further include endorsing a proposed transaction for transferring the asset from a first controller associated with a first blockchain network to a second controller associated with a second blockchain network, where the proposed transaction utilizes the decentralized asset identifier. The techniques further include exchanging, in a document associated with the decentralized asset identifier and retrieved from an identity network, the first controller for the second controller.

  • Patent number: 11943360
    Abstract: An approach for blockchain transaction processing using generative cryptograms for bi-lateral and Multi-lateral transactions may be provided. The approach may include, the use of decentralization ledger storage, negating the need of repetitive storage while preserving the need for data redundancy. A generative cryptogram may provide verification of processed blocks and file handles or storage address schemes of the ledger storage. The approach creates a cryptogram which is added to transaction processing, post processing and commits to the ledger. In the approach, the cryptogram is the only version of storage pointer and is utilized in subsequent transaction processing without the need for extensive compute and latest cryptogram is all that would be needed for transaction processing.

  • Publication number: 20240061828
    Abstract: Recursive endorsements in a decentralized database minimize validation effort for a smart contract because there are fewer signatures to verify. Collected endorsements required by an endorsement policy are verified and signed by a set of trusted peers representing different organizations, the set of trusted peers being fewer than the number of endorsing peers. Prior to validation, the target transaction is submitted with all required endorsements and the signatures of the set of trusted peers. Validation is performed by verifying only the signatures of the set of trusted peers.

  • Publication number: 20240048582
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programming products leveraging the use of machine learning, cryptographic keys and blockchain technology for validating blockchain transactions. The disclosed systems, methods and products improve detection of malicious cyberattacks and fraud, while reducing occurrences of falsely invalidated transactions and improving overall blockchain security in both permissioned and permissionless blockchain networks. Classifiers are trained using machine learning and other classification techniques by building a transaction history to learn how to identify suspicious transactions on the blockchain. In permissionless and order-execute models of permissioned blockchains, cryptographic keys are publicly registered to guardians residing out of band, who may co-sign requests and override or resubmit transactions marked as suspicious by the classifiers.

  • Patent number: 11862313
    Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of connecting, by a pharmacy node, to a blockchain network configured to store patients' data on a blockchain ledger, receiving, by the pharmacy node, a request from a patient node for a prescription refill, the request contains a secret key of a patient, extracting, by the pharmacy node, the secret key from the request to verify a patient's identity, and executing, by the pharmacy node, a smart contract to: (a) decrypt a prescription data located on the ledger by an application of the secret key, (b) retrieve patient's allergy records from the ledger to check the allergy records against the prescription data, (c) determine a number of remaining refills from the prescription data, (d) check validity of the prescription data based on an expiration date, and commit a prescription refill transaction to the blockchain based on a successful execution of (b)-(d).

  • Publication number: 20230298095
    Abstract: In an approach for creating self-sovereign credit token issuance to facilitate account to account lending and creation of a digital credit market, a processor identifies a digital interaction within an edge of connected accounts, wherein the digital interaction includes an account-to-account transaction having a total economic impact within the edge of connected accounts. A processor evaluates, based on the digital interaction, potential future earnings of a fungible token and a non-fungible token. A processor provides a criterion to generate a self-sovereign, self-issued credit token that is embedded with a credit worthiness of the self-sovereign, self-issued credit token, based on the total economic impact and the potential future earnings.
