Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for monitoring precipitation. An example rain gauge device for use in such monitoring generally includes a first basin including at least one outlet for forming and releasing droplets of moisture, and at least two electrical contacts disposed proximate to the at least one outlet. A closed circuit is formed between the at least two electrical contacts when a droplet of moisture, released by the at least one outlet, contacts the at least two electrical contacts. The rain gauge device then also includes a processor communicatively coupled to the at least two electrical contacts. The processor is configured to determine presence of a moisture event based on the closed circuit formed by the droplet and the at least two electrical contacts and, in response to the determination, transmit an indication of the moisture event to a computing device.

Abstract: Technologies for trust protocol execution include a network of servers in communication with client devices. A client device splits a request into input data blocks, connects to a server, and sends an input data block to the server. The server encodes the input data block with an encoding pad to generate an encoded data block, generates a hash value as a function of the encoded data block, and modifies the encoding pad as a function of the hash value to generate a modified encoding pad. The server adds the encoded data block to a blockchain and returns an indication of the input data block stored on the blockchain. The server may add a verification puzzle based on a timestamp to the encoded data block. The server may request a security certificate from a certificate authority for a web address based on the hash value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
