  • Patent number: 11847710
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided to implement a contract analytic binding and provenance system. The mechanism loads contract rules for an agreement between a plurality of contract parties and creates an analytic entry per rule to form a set of analytic entries, Each analytic entry is associated with an executable analytic function. The mechanism assigns each analytic entry a directed acyclic graph vertex. The mechanism confirms alignment between the contract rules and the set of analytic entries and stores the set of analytic entries in peer ledgers associated with the plurality of contract parties. The mechanism activates the set of analytic entries responsive to confirming provenance of the peer ledgers associated with the plurality of contract parties.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220318209
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided to review and verify provenance of analytic execution by a contract analytic binding and provenance system. The mechanism is activated to execute a set of analytics for a contract and verifies outcomes of the analytics before writing them to a blockchain network. The mechanism evaluates the provenance data records stored on peer ledgers and establishes transparency of the outcomes by validating consensus between characteristics of the provenance data.

  • Patent number: 9280771
    Abstract: A method, programmed medium and system are provided for implementing a prebuilt and encrypted personal identification information (PII) profile which resides only on a user's computer and is prevented from being permanently stored in a server's database. When a user visits a web site and creates a new account, the site submits a request to query the user's profile using an extension to the HTTP protocol. The user is prompted by the user's browser to grant the site permission to do so and the site automatically uploads a non-personal identifying number (ID) to the user's system to create an account. User-selected fields of the PII are transmitted to the server for processing a user-requested transaction. All personal information remains on the user's computer within the user's encrypted PII profile and is deleted at the server after the completion of the requested transaction.

  • Publication number: 20100212003
    Abstract: A method, programmed medium and system are provided for implementing a prebuilt and encrypted personal identification information (PII) profile which resides only on a user's computer and is prevented from being permanently stored in a server's database. In an exemplary embodiment, when a user visits a web site and creates a new account, the site submits a request to query the user's profile using an extension to the HTTP protocol. The user is prompted by the user's browser to grant the site permission to do so and the site automatically uploads a non-personal identifying number (ID) to the user's system to create an account. All personal information remains on the user's computer within the user's encrypted PII profile and is not allowed to be stored in the server's storage.
