  • Patent number: 11816099
    Abstract: Implementations of this specification provide service identifier-based data indexing. An example method performed by a data indexing apparatus of a centralized database service provider that stores data by using a blockchain-type ledger includes obtaining a service identifier and a service label of a data record, the service identifier uniquely identifying a service attribute of the data record, and the service label representing a type of the data record; determining location information of the data record in the blockchain-type ledger, the location information including a block height of a data block that includes the data record, and a positional offset of the data record in the data block that includes the data record; establishing a mapping relationship among the service identifier, the service label, and the location information; and writing the mapping relationship into an index for which a primary key is the service identifier.

  • Patent number: 11283622
    Abstract: Implementations of this specification provide signature verification methods and apparatuses for a blockchain ledger. An example method includes receiving by a server, a signature verification instruction that comprises a verification object parameter and a hash value. The verification object parameter includes a third-party parameter, a platform parameter, or a time service certificate parameter, the verification object parameter indicates a type of a to-be-verified object, and the server is configured to store data by using the blockchain ledger. The server obtains the to-be-verified object based on the verification object parameter and the hash value. The type of the to-be-verified object includes a third-party digital signature, a server digital signature, or a time service certificate. The server sends the to-be-verified object to a client for verification by the client.

  • Patent number: 11223471
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to blockchain-type storage of receipt data. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a to-be-stored data record including a first service attribute. Execution information of the to-be-stored data record is determined. A previous data record is obtained from a blockchain-type ledger. The previous data record includes a second service attribute that is the same as the first service attribute. Each data block in the blockchain-type ledger includes a block header and a block body. A hash value of the previous data record is determined. A receipt record is generated. The receipt record includes the hash value of the previous data record and the execution information of the to-be-stored data record. The to-be-stored data record and the receipt record are written into a same block body in the blockchain-type ledger.
