| 1st Invent: | Michael Christopher Hearn (Zurich, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A method and system are provided to support a decentralized distributed ledger in which transactions are recorded by parties to the transactions without the use of a blockchain. A distributed ledger system provides a protocol framework that supports the development of protocol flows. A protocol flow is computer code that controls the performance of a transaction by the party or parties to the transaction. Protocol flows can be developed for different types of transactions. The distributed ledger system allows transactions to be proposed, accepted, and notarized by a notary and stored without the use of a blockchain ledger. The distributed ledger system can avoid the expense of the computational and storage resources needed to redundantly verify a transaction and store evidence on the many nodes of a blockchain distributed ledger. |

| 1st Invent: | Michael Maneval (Schopfheim, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | The present disclosure relates to a system and method for determining or monitoring a process variable having a higher-level unit and a plurality of field devices. The field devices generate data and are connected to one another for communication, and the higher-level unit and the field devices are nodes corresponding to a distributed ledger or blockchain technology comprising transaction creation units. Each field device is assigned a transaction creation unit for creating transactions. A created transaction contains data from the field devices assigned to the transaction creation units. A block creation unit processes a created transaction to form a data block. Validation units check the data block and/or transactions for validity. The data block is valid if at least one predefined number of validation units validates the data block, wherein each node is assigned one of the validation units. The valid data block is stored in a distributed database. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Embodiments of the present invention provides a system to create a decentralized, scalable, blockchain powered cyber security management solution to monitor, protect themselves against and eliminate cyber threats, thereby managing cyber security. The cyber security management solution places an emphasis upon the strength of the wider community to contribute to finding vulnerabilities through a blockchain based mechanism. The cyber security management platform (such as Uncloak platform) may harness knowledge and expertise, aggregate it into the platform, and transform it into a service for end users. If the end user clients can understand their security risk position in real-time, they can place themselves in a strong position to eliminate cyber threats before they occur. |
