| Counsel: | Firm: Troutman Pepper Locke LLP |
| 1st Invent: | Scott Edward Daly Dykstra (Fort Myers, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and transaction nodes are disclosed that update a cryptographic commitment to a data blob (e.g., Structured Query Language (SQL) database table or block of transactions) with respect to data to be inserted into the data blob and ingested via communication network(s) from a data source. The updated cryptographic commitment is then stored in a distributed ledger replicated at each of the transaction nodes upon obtaining agreement on the updated cryptographic commitment with one or more of the transaction nodes based on a consensus protocol. The ingested data is inserted (e.g., by one of the transaction nodes or directly by a data source) in the data blob in a data store (e.g., a SQL database or blockchain). By maintaining redundant copies of a ledger of cryptographic commitments across transaction nodes, this technology facilitates query verification with improved scalability, efficiency, and security, among other advantages. |
