In one embodiment, a processing device receives a first digital fingerprint of a media item along with a first content management rule. The processing device separately receives a second digital fingerprint of the media item along with a second content management rule. The processing device determines that the received digital fingerprints are for the same media item based upon a match between the first digital fingerprint and the second digital fingerprint. The processing device determines that all rights to the media item have been accounted for, and then determines a set of actions to be performed for hosted media items comprising the media item based at least in part upon the first content management rule and the second content management rule. Processing logic may also perform a conflict resolution process for conflicting rights claims to the media item.

Systems and methods for managing distributed computing resources including blockchain-based management of serverless computing and edge computing. Distributed computing resources are managed on a peer-to-peer network, and serverless functions are hosted on a distributed IT infrastructure. Developers for the serverless functions and providers of distributed IT infrastructure utilize a blockchain-based IT marketplace platform to make transactions relating to computing resource consumption.

Described herein are systems and methods for a providing Ledger as a Service (LaaS). Blockchain technology helps bring potential solutions to the distributed ledger problem, with a linear record structure to record transaction history. However, there are different types of blockchain techniques (e.g., Hyperledger, Ethereum, Quorum), and users/developers need to know the explicit features of each technique and align with the required APIs. Ledger as a Service can allow users to an develop applications more efficiently, and can allow users to easily migrate applications among different blockchain techniques and platforms (e.g., between Hyperledger and Ethereum). LaaS can also allow for simplified transactions with a blockchain, and can additionally provide simplified communication between blockchains of different types.

A method for a protocol in digital asset trading includes step as follow. Trading information is exchanged between the first and the second nodes, in which a first digital currency belonging to the first node and a second digital currency belonging to the second node are expected to be exchanged, and prices of the first and second digital currencies are time-dependent. An atomic swap script and a smart contract are generated. A compensation fee to be paid to the second node by the first node is computed. A redeeming or refunding event is performed in response to the atomic swap script and the smart contract with paying the compensation fee to the second node, in which the compensation fee is dependent on the prices of the first and second digital currencies such that is time-dependent.

Aspects and embodiments are directed to method and system for node based reconciliation. Various aspects also provide for real-time securities exchange while supporting cash based transactions. Additional aspects incorporate improved user interfaces for enabling single selection investment decisions for all of a clients' wealth.

A system for managing data of an automation field device in a secure manner includes a decentralized distributed ledger-type database, or blockchain, comprising a plurality of subscriber nodes, comprising validation-capable subscriber nodes and an automation field device with an electronic unit. The electronic unit is designed to run a distributed ledger software stack. The field device generates data, comprising measurement values and/or calibration certificates requiring verification, and the field device operates as a light node of the decentralized database after running the distributed ledger software stack and is designed to transmit the data to the decentralized database via the communication network and write said data in encrypted form into the decentralized database. The validation-capable subscriber nodes validate the transmitted data, and the decentralized database is designed to store the data if at least a specified proportion of the validation-capable subscriber nodes successfully validate the data.

It is provided a method for configuring a target device. The method comprises the steps of: transmitting a configuration request message to the target device, the configuration request message comprising a configuration request and a request signature, wherein the request signature is based on the configuration request; receiving a configuration response message from the target device, the configuration response message comprising a configuration response and a response signature, wherein the response signature is based on the configuration response and the request signature; verifying the response signature to determine whether the configuration response message is valid, based on the configuration response, the request signature and a public key for the target device; and transmitting a configuration commit message to the target device only when the configuration response message is valid, the configuration commit message comprising a configuration commit indicator and a commit signature.

Provided is a storage system for voice recording information based on a blockchain. The storage system for voice recording information comprises: a voice-to-text conversion device for converting a voice recording file into a text file using a preset voice-to-text conversion algorithm, and outputting the converted text file and information on the voice-to-text conversion algorithm; a blockchain network consisting of a plurality of participating nodes, and configured to generate blocks including the text file and information on the voice-to-text conversion algorithm output from the voice-to-text conversion device according to a preset consensus algorithm, and to store the generated blocks on the blockchain; and a data storage device for storing the original voice recording file, wherein the storage system reliably stores the text file for the voice recording file.

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for executing digital resource transfer using trusted computing. The present invention is configured to receive, from a second computing device, an indication that a first computing device has initiated a transfer of a digital resource; determine, using the authentication protocol, that the first computing device is in secure possession of the digital resource; initiate, via the second computing device, a request to receive the digital resource from the first computing device; receive, via the second computing device, an indication that the second computing device has received the digital resource from the first computing device; initiate, via the second computing device, a resource verification protocol on the digital resource; verify, using the resource verification protocol, one or more digital signatures associated with the digital resource; and transmit, via the second computing device, an acknowledgement to the first computing device.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for first hop security in a multi-site and multi-vendor cloud. The method may include receiving, at a first hop security (FHS) device located within a defined security perimeter, a message from a first host; validating a security of the message; signing the message with a signature to prove validation of the message, the signature comprising at least a Crypto-ID Parameters Option (CIPO) and a Neighbor Discovery Protocol Signature Option (NDPSO); and transmitting the signed message to one or more network FHS devices within the security perimeter.
