Systems, devices and automated processes provide robust, computationally-efficient and secure protection of media content or other electronic data stored on a user-supplied storage device through the use of efficient file system encryption. Only certain portions of the content are encrypted by the host device, thereby reducing the computational demand in comparison to encrypting all of the content. By selecting the particular portions to encrypt, the formatting and structure of the stored data can be concealed, thereby making the use of the unencrypted content very difficult, if not impossible. In implementations based upon the XFS file system, for example, the superblocks that store header information about the files stored on the drive can be encrypted, thereby rendering the unencrypted content

A robust, computationally-efficient and secure system is described for streaming content from a server to a client device via the Internet or another digital network. Various aspects relate to automated processes, systems and devices for securing a media stream with efficient yet effective digital cryptography. In particular, content may be transmitted in transport stream (TS) format in which all packets are encrypted (e.g., using a cipher block chain), in which control packets are exempted from encryption (e.g., using an electronic codebook), or in any other manner.

A processor receives a signal representing data including event information detailing an event involving an entity having a registered ownership interest in a product and loads a portion of a distributed electronic ledger for tracking ownership information associated with the product. The distributed electronic ledger includes, within a block thereof and associated with the product, an event trigger list including entity data associated with each entity having a registered ownership interest in the product and a rules engine including rules associated with event triggers in the event trigger list. The processor determines whether a triggering event corresponding to the event is stored in the event trigger list and, when the event has a corresponding triggering event, determines the associated rule within the rules engine. The processor updates and saves the distributed electronic ledger by performing an action specified by the determined associated rule.

A system includes a first client device that is coupled to a second client device. An apparatus, coupled to the first and second devices, includes a storage device coupled to a processor. The storage device stores software instructions for controlling the processor that when executed configures the processor to generate a listing of expected values and referral events associated with a tracked matter. Each referral event corresponds to a different expected value and the distributed listing includes a sequence of units corresponding to different expected values and corresponding referral events. The processor receives a notification from one of the first or second device that is representative of a referral operation between the first and second location. The processor determines an outcome value for the referral operation and identifies whether the determined outcome value is accurate based on the distributed listing.

A system includes devices and sensors associated with a construction site for a project. A computing apparatus, communicates with the devices and the sensors, includes a storage device and a processor. The storage device stores software instructions for controlling the processor that when executed by the processor configures the processor to obtain a predetermined construction schedule with terms for the project. The processor obtains sets of data that each corresponds to a different term. The processor generates a distributed listing for the project, which includes a sequence of a plurality of units corresponding to different terms and sets of data. The processor receives a signal from one of the sensors, wherein the signal is representative of a progress event. The processor identifies whether the progress event at the site corresponds to one of the terms in the schedule and updates and saves the distributed listing when a correspondence is identified.

A method discloses activating an application on one or more devices to record one or more video images associated with the video event, wherein the application is configured to be secured and create the one or more video images as uneditable, obtaining one or more video images that include at least a time stamp, sending the one or more video images to a remote server upon completing of the video images, identifying, utilizing video recognition at the remote server, whether the one or more videos includes an action associated with a goal of a sporting event tied, wherein the sporting event is tied to a fund that includes wagers from one or more participants of the sporting event, determining if the one or more video images has been modified by evaluating at least the time stamp, and outputting, in response to the evaluation, a notification indicating a winning entry associated with the video.

The disclosed embodiments include computerized systems and methods for generating secured blockchain-based ledger data structures that track occurrences of events across fragmented and geographically dispersed lines-of-business of an enterprise. In one instance, an apparatus associated with a rules authority of the secured blockchain-based ledger may detect an occurrence of a triggering event, and may access and decrypt a set of rules hashed into the secured blockchain-based ledger using a confidentially-held master cryptographic key. The apparatus may identify a rule associated with the detected event, and perform one or more operations consistent with the rule, including a disbursement of various rewards to employees in response to customer-specific interactions with the enterprise. The disclosed embodiments provide a rules process for aggregating mutually incompatible enterprise data that specifies the events, and for tracking the events in uniform data structures accessible across the enterprise.

The disclosed embodiments include computerized systems and methods for generating secured block-chain-based ledger data structures that track subdivide ownership and usage of one or more assets, such as Internet-connected devices. In one instance, an apparatus associated with a rules authority of the secured block-chain-based ledger may detect an occurrence of a triggering event related to at least one of partial ownership interests in the assets, and may access and decrypt a set of rules hashed into the secured block-chain-based ledger using a confidentially-held master cryptographic key. The apparatus may identify a rule associated with the detected event, and perform one or more operations consistent with the rule, including a generation of additional data blocks reflecting a change in at least one of the partial ownership interests, and additionally or alternatively, processes that adaptively monitor a compliance of one or more partial owners with an imposed usage restriction.
