  • Node characterization in a blockchain
    Patent number: 11477031
    Abstract: A blockchain may be used to store transactions in an immutable ledger. The types of transactions may vary and the information from the transactions could be used to identify information about nodes in a particular network. One example operation may include one or more of identifying a number of nodes operating on a blockchain, determining a new blockchain transaction, and determining one or more of the nodes as having one or more characteristics based on the new blockchain transaction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 1, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 18, 2022
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Bhavani K. Eshwar, Subramanian B. Manjunath, Soma S. Naganna, Subramanian Palaniappan

  • Generating a trust factor for data in non-relational or relational databases
    Patent number: 10353930
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes detecting an update to a record in an entity table of a database. At least one of an age score, a lineage score, and a completeness score for the record is calculated, responsive to the update. A trust factor is calculated, by a computer processor, based on the at least one of the age score, the lineage score, and the completeness score for the record. The trust factor indicates a level of trustworthiness of the record. It is decided whether to use data in the record based on the trust factor.
