  • Patent number: 10581841
    Abstract: An authenticated network in which a physical network including physical nodes with actual physical substances and a logical network including logical nodes without actual substances are uniquely linked to expand public ledger technology, which secures Peer-to-peer (P2P) type communication on a logical network, to a physical network, is provided. The authenticated network includes a private key uniquely linked to a public key. The private key is generated by a key generator and an identification device having physical substance and included in an identification core. The private key is regarded as a physical address of the identification core and is confined in the identification core. The public key is publicized as a logical address of a logical node. The logical node and the physical node are uniquely linked by the public key and the private key. The security of the whole network is thus effectively improved.
