A system for an artificial intelligence synchronized distributed ledger. The system includes a computing device containing a receiving module, the receiving module designed and configured to receive an input from a remote device, parse the input to identify protected and non-protected data contained within the input, transform the protected data into a digitally signed assertion and convert the non-protected into an encrypted datastore. The computing device containing a processing module, the processing module designed and configured to receive the digitally signed assertion from the receiving module, insert the digitally signed assertion into an immutable sequential data structure, receive the encrypted datastore, retrieve at least an input, generate a record utilizing the at least a retrieved input, and perform a first machine-learning process utilizing the at least a retrieved input.

A storage architecture and associated usage techniques are described for providing efficient modification and use of access rights for stored data. The access rights may be associated with data stored on blockchain storage, and a separate ledger storage system may be used to provide improvements for modifying access rights for such stored data. For example, groups of data may be created and stored on blockchain storage before access to the stored data groups is made available to end users, and additional information related to those stored data groups (e.g., about their access rights) may be stored in a separate ledger storage system. When a particular user later requests access rights for one of those previously stored data groups, corresponding modifications may be quickly made to the separate ledger storage system to provide the user with substantially immediate access to that stored data group.

A computer-implemented method, non-transitory, computer-readable medium, and computer-implemented system are provided for deploying a smart contract in a blockchain network. The computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a blockchain node in a blockchain network, a transaction for creating a smart contract, wherein the transaction comprises machine codes of the smart contract, and the machine codes of the smart contract are obtained by a compilation service provider performing Ahead of Time (AoT) compilation on bytecodes of the smart contract; determining, by the blockchain node, that the machine codes of the smart contract are obtained by a trusted compilation service provider; and in response to determining that the machine codes of the smart contract are obtained by the trusted compilation service provider, completing, by the blockchain node, a deployment of the smart contract.

An electronic device and method are disclosed for managing a non-fungible token (NFT). The electronic device includes: a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including: generating, a NFT for target content in response to receiving a request to register the target content from a first external electronic device, generating, for the NFT, a certification authority (CA) signature indicating that the NFT is generated by the server, and transmitting, via a communication circuitry, the NFT to the first external electronic device, wherein an ownership signature is added to the NFT, together with the CA signature, the ownership signature based on a private key of a user to which ownership of the NFT is assigned.

Techniques for enabling the creation of a digital asset representation of physical goods (e.g., luxury items) produced in limited quantities or heirloom-goods associated with restricted ownership rules. Anti-counterfeiting mechanisms are proposed for both classes of goods. The provenance of both classes of goods is traced using cryptography and decentralized ledger technology. For example, mechanisms to restrict ownership of heirloom-goods are proposed based on the combination of the DNA biological fingerprint of the patron who originated the goods and smart contract technology. The goods can be represented as digital tokens on the blockchain, binding manufacturing evidence to the token. For heirloom-goods that have restricted ownership rules, persons seeking to acquire the good via the digital token and smart contract are required to prove that they satisfy the entitlement rules based on a biological relationship to the patron.

A system for using hardware-secured receptacle devices includes a transfer processing device configured to store transfer method data associated with user on at least a cryptographically secured receptacle device, receive user authentication credentials from a user, authenticate user identity as a function of the user authentication credentials, retrieve a transfer authorization from the at least a cryptographically secured receptacle device as a function of the transfer method data, generate a transfer as a function of the transfer authorization.

Methods and systems for creating a verifiable digital identity are provided. The method includes obtaining a first user-generated item comprising an identifiable feature. The method also includes digitally signing the first user-generated item to generate a secure digital artifact. The method also includes uploading the secure digital artifact and the first user-generated item to an auditable chain of a public ledger. The method also includes verifying a digital identity of the user by auditing the auditable chain. The method also includes obtaining a second user-generated item generated comprising the identifiable feature. The method also includes comparing the first and second user-generated items. The method also includes uploading the second user-generated item to the public ledger when the comparing is within a threshold.

An autonomous distributed wise area network (AD-WAN) includes several nodes, where each node connects a local area network to an open wide area network, and provides tunnels over the open wide area network to other nodes in the AD-WAN so that computing resources behind each node can communicate as if they were located on a common intranet. Each node has a blockchain wallet and receives updates to a private permissioned blockchain ledger for that AD-WAN. The updates are provided by a control node. Set up, and subsequent change to the AD-WAN are commenced via a customer portal which provides order information to the control node, where the control node processes the order information and generates a blockchain update that informs the affected nodes in the AD-WAN as to what changes are to be made. As a result, the blockchain provides both control plane and order management operation of the AD-WAN.

A computer-based method is provided for managing a transaction including provision of a process intelligence engine comprising a workflow aligner and process tool box, receiving deal parameters at the process intelligence engine, defining transaction subjects, each requiring the participation of at least one network partner, where each transaction subject is a requirement for achieving the objective of the transaction, defining, for each transaction subject, a plurality of subject goals to be addressed by a network partner, and defining, for each subject goal at least one action item required for satisfying the subject goal. The subject goals are then sequenced by the workflow aligner by defining prerequisites for at least one subject goal and transaction modules are defined based on the sequencing. During execution of a deal using the method, subject goals are not made available until prerequisite subject goals have been completed.

Systems and methods are disclosed with respect to using a blockchain for managing the subrogation claim process related to a vehicle collision, in particular, utilizing evidence oracles as part of the subrogation process. An exemplary embodiment includes receiving recorded data from one or more connected devices at a geographic location; analyzing the recorded data, wherein analyzing the recorded data includes determining that an collision has occurred involving one or more vehicles; generating a transaction including the data indicative of the collision based upon the analysis; and transmitting the transaction to at least one other participant in the distributed ledger network.
