| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Various aspects of the disclosure relate to identification and analysis associated with real-time resource allocation for code execution. A real-time resource allocation framework may estimate computing resource utilization for any given codebase using various models in real-time. The framework captures metadata corresponding to each codebase to be supported by the real-time resource allocation framework using a crawler that performs an initial full scan of all codebases and a later incremental scan for any changes in codebases onboarded onto framework to identify atomic code blocks in each of the codebases, to categorize those code blocks with respect to various computing resource utilization parameters and to predict an expected value for each code block for any given parameter. Blockchain and smart contract technology enables operation of each atomic code block to provide services via an enterprise network and feedback of actual values to improve prediction capabilities. |

The computing platform may determine whether the selected mode of payment is crypto currency. If so, the transaction details may be transmitted to a peer-to-peer network for validation of the transaction. If the transaction is validated, a new block, corresponding to the validated transaction, may be generated and added to a blockchain and the transaction may be processed. In some examples, additional details of the transaction may be received and the additional details and the transaction details may be input to a machine learning model. Upon execution of the model, an environmental impact score associated with the transaction and a recommendation may be determined and transmitted to the user. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | For sufficient use of patient examination data generated at multiple medical institutions, a request node ({b}2{/b}{i}a{/i}) in multiple patient examination nodes ({b}2{/b}) generates and transmits a request message requesting viewing of target examination data to the generation node ({b}2{/b}{i}b{/i}). The generation node authenticates a signature of a target patient received together with the request message, generates a permission message requesting setting of a viewing right of the target examination data to the request node, and transmits the message to an authentication node ({b}3{/b}). The signature of the target patient and a signature of the generation node are included in or attached to the permission message. The authentication node generates, after receiving the permission message, a data block to set the viewing right of the target examination data to the request node and transmits the data block to the patient examination nodes for storage in a blockchain format. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A quantum-secured blockchain network and a method for secure data transmission across the quantum-secured blockchain network are provided. The quantum-secured blockchain network includes a blockchain subnet and a quantum key distribution subnet. The blockchain subnet includes multiple blockchain nodes. The quantum key distribution subnet includes multiple quantum key distribution nodes and is configured to distribute a shared quantum key between two of the quantum key distribution nodes. The quantum key distribution nodes are deployed in the respective blockchain nodes, for the blockchain nodes to acquire the shared quantum key from the quantum key distribution nodes. The blockchain nodes are configured to: encrypt data using the shared quantum key, for secure transmission of the data between the blockchain nodes. This is especially applicable to blockchain systems with high security requirements such as the blockchain government affairs system and the blockchain free trade system. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | The invention belongs to the field of computer security and discloses a blockchain-based anonymous authentication method for the Internet of Vehicles across trusted authorities, including registering the vehicle (with onboard unit) and roadside unit in their respective trusted authorities. When the vehicle enters different trusted authority domains, both the onboard unit and roadside unit generate corresponding authentication parameters and transmit them to the consortium blockchain of the Internet of Vehicles for verification and signature, obtaining authenticated data signed by the consortium blockchain. The onboard unit and roadside unit receive and verify the authenticated data, and upon successful verification, the onboard unit calculates a session key. The onboard unit uses the session key to sequentially transmit data with the roadside unit and the consortium blockchain. This technical solution allows vehicles from any trusted authority domain to authenticate and negotiate session keys with roadside units from different trusted authority domains. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | One embodiment includes a method that recovers information on one or more characteristics of a node, wherein the information corresponds to at least one selected from the group consisting of: hardware, software, event history, and functionalities. The method derives one or more characterizations of the node based on the information. The characterizations reflect a current state of a characteristic of the one or more characteristics. Characterizations are expressed as statements on a blockchain. The method recovers, from an assertion unit, an assertion verifying validity of the characterizations. The method derives a reputation score for the assertion unit, wherein the reputation score discloses estimates of verification accuracy for the assertion unit. The method determines a risk score for the node based on the reputation score, the characterizations, and the assertion, wherein the risk score corresponds to a degree of risk associated with transacting with the node. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | The present specification discloses a blockchain having a finite number of blockchain blocks secured in a loop with a locking blockchain block executed by instructions stored on a non-volatile computer tangible medium. The blockchain has a genesis blockchain block and a terminating blockchain block that ends the blockchain. The blockchain also has a blockchain lock block that includes a hash digest based on a hash digest from the genesis blockchain block and a hash digest from the terminating blockchain block. The blockchain lock block logically locks the genesis blockchain block to the terminating blockchain block forming the blockchain into a loop by cryptographically linking the genesis blockchain block to the terminating blockchain block, thereby preventing the addition of new blockchain blocks in the blockchain that continue a conventional blockchain through hashes based on just the previous blockchain block. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems and computer-implemented methods for freezing or unfreezing digital assets on a blockchain. A freeze administration service may send a signed freeze request to mining nodes, which maintain two blacklists of digital asset identifiers: a pending blacklist and a consensus blacklist. The digital asset identifiers may be transaction outpoints in some cases. If accepted by the mining node, the transaction outpoints in the freeze request are added to the pending blacklist, which causes rejection of any transactions using those outpoints, but does not cause rejection of any new blocks that include transactions using those outpoints. If a consensus threshold of acceptances is reached based on hash power, the request becomes an order and the outpoints are added to the consensus blacklist, which causes rejection of any transaction or block containing a transaction using those outpoints. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A method includes a processor receiving a request having an expression of interest from a computing device associated with a user. The expression of interest is for an intent to register a future domain name in a DNS. The future domain name is a domain name in a TLD that is not currently registered by a TLD registry. The processor determines an availability of the future domain name by querying on-chain databases and off-chain databases for occurrences of the future domain name. When the future domain name is available, the processor allocates usage rights to the expression of interest. The usage rights are associated with an account of the user. The processor generates a digital token for the expression of interest representing usage rights of the intent to register the future domain name in a future TLD registry. The processor records the digital token on a blockchain. |
