  • Data redaction in a journal-based database
    Patent number: 11860863
    Abstract: A journal-based database may include items, e.g., organized in a table, associated with a journal. The journal may include a hash-chained set of blocks individually including data representing previous and/or current versions of the individual items. The database may receive a request to redact specific data from the database. The database may search the blocks to determine whether the specific data exists. When the specific data exists in a block of the journal, the database may redate the specific data in the identified block. The database may retain existing metadata of the block such that cryptographic verifiability of the hash-chained blocks may be preserved.
