Computer-implemented techniques for managing transactions of machine learning algorithm updates are described. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented is provided that comprises receiving, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a request for an update to a machine learning model associated with a software program, wherein the request is received in accordance with a defined blockchain protocol, and wherein the request comprises model development data used in association with optimization of an instance of the machine learning model. The method further comprises, employing, by the system, a blockchain network to facilitate managing fulfillment of the request.

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatus for processing blockchain-based guarantee information. One of the methods includes receiving a first cyphertext of a first digital document specifying a guarantee from a first computing device associated with at least a first guarantor and one or more zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) related to one or more values associated with the guarantee, and the first digital document specifies one or more predetermined conditions of executing the guarantee; verifying that the one or more ZKPs are correct; storing the first cyphertext to a blockchain based on performing a consensus algorithm; receiving a first message from a second computing device associated with a beneficiary or a representative of the beneficiary.

A method including receiving, at multiple cloud computing servers, multiple streaming data sets for the same sensing task each from a respective client device. The streaming data set from each client device comprises sensed data sensed by one or more sensors of said client device. The streaming data sets are encrypted. Each respective streaming data set from a respective client device is divided into multiple streaming data set portions, each to be received at a respective one of the cloud computing server. The method also includes processing, at each respective cloud computing server, the corresponding streaming data set portions received to generate a corresponding share of a result for the sensing task. The method also includes encrypting, at each respective one of the cloud computing servers, the corresponding share of the result; and facilitating creation or update of a blockchain based on the encrypted shares of the result.

An example operation may include one or more of identifying a plurality of instances of a blockchain storage request that have been independently submitted by a plurality of clients, respectively, verifying whether execution content of the plurality of instances of the blockchain storage request match, and in response to verifying the match, storing the blockchain storage request within a block among a hash-linked chain of blocks.

A computer-implemented method for transmitting and/or submitting digital content such as feedback for an entity to a blockchain is disclosed. This may be, for example, the Bitcoin blockchain. The method, which is implemented at a first node, includes: submitting, to the blockchain, a first transaction for committing a first quantity of tokens to transfer to a second node associated with the entity, the first transaction having a first output; generating a first content for submission to the blockchain; and submitting, to the blockchain, a second transaction that returns a second quantity of the committed first quantity of tokens to an address associated with the first node, the second transaction having the first output of the first transaction as an input, wherein the first content is used to unlock the first output of the first transaction.

A method for optimizing blockchain storage size through use of relative values includes: receiving, by a blockchain node in a blockchain network that manages a blockchain, a plurality of blockchain data values, each including unspent transaction outputs, at least one destination address, and, for each destination address, an original currency amount; identifying a base value; modifying the original currency amount included in each blockchain data value to be a relative currency amount based on a difference between the identified base value and the original currency amount; generating a new block, the new block including a block header and the modified plurality of blockchain data values; and transmitting the generated new block to a plurality of additional nodes in the blockchain network.

An example operation may include one or more of capturing a current version of sensitive data by a data processor node, hashing, by the data processor node, the current version of the sensitive data, storing, by the data processor node, a hash of the current version of the sensitive data on a first blockchain, encrypting, by the data processor node, the current version of the sensitive data using a secret key, and storing the encrypted current version of the sensitive data on a second blockchain.

A blockchain value transfer method including receiving a transfer request, executing a first smart contract function to perform data analytics on the transfer request and a second smart contract function to implement a security response responsive to compliance with a security criterion, and recording a result of execution of the second smart contract function to at least one of a relational database, a non-relational database, and an analytics service.

A device obtains previously created data content. The device unmasks and extracts one or more chain of custody blocks stored in association with the data content. The one or more chain of custody blocks includes chain of custody data identifying who, when, where, and, with what hardware and/or software, created or edited the data content. The device analyzes the one or more chain of custody blocks and validates an origination of the data content based on the analysis of the one or more chain of custody blocks.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, authenticating, by a federated blockchain controller, a user equipment located within a cell coverage area of a network that includes heterogeneous cells. The federated blockchain controller can provide encryption data to the user equipment and corresponding authentication information to one or more multi-access edge computing (MEC) devices associated with the heterogeneous cells to enable secure and efficient handovers for the user equipment amongst the heterogeneous cells, without a need for additional handover reauthentication procedures. Other embodiments are disclosed.
