System and Method for Implementing Hybrid Public-Private Block-Chain Ledgers

摘要

The disclosed embodiments include computerized systems and methods that generate secured distributed storage ledger structures, such as block-chain-based ledger structures, that facilitate event-based control of tracked assets. In one embodiment, an apparatus associated with a centralized authority of the secured distributed storage ledger may detect an occurrence of a triggering event, and may access and decrypt a set of rules hashed into the secured distributed storage 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 and involving at least one of assets tracked within the secured distributed storage ledger or an owner of a portion of the tracked assets.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a storage device; and at least one processor coupled to the storage device, the storage device storing software instructions for controlling the at least one processor when executed by the at least one processor, and the at least one processor being operative with the software instructions and configured to:
detect an occurrence of an event;determine that the detected event corresponds to at least one triggering event;in response to the determination, obtain data identifying one or more rules, the one or more rules being associated with a centralized authority;identify, based on the obtained rules data, at least one of the one or more rules that exhibits a causal relationship with the detected event; andperform one or more operations consistent with the at least one identified rule.
