| Counsel: | Firm: Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP |
| 1st Invent: | Yoav Landman (Netanya, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and computer readable storage devices for validating that a software release has successfully completed multiple development stages of a development process without alteration. To illustrate, as software (e.g., one or more files or artifacts) completes at least a portion of a development process including the development stages, data components are generated. Digital signatures are generated based on the data components and a private key, and the digital signatures are stored in a secure data structure, such as a blockchain or a tree structure. Upon receipt of the data components (e.g., as validation data of a software release) by a node device, the node device generates validation signatures based on the data components and a public key and compares the validation signatures to the digital signatures stored in the secure data structure to validate the software before processing the software. |

| 1st Invent: | Ved Kommalapati (Bloomington, IL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | This disclosure describes techniques for using a blockchain network to dynamically generate and transmit communications based on data stored on distributed records. The techniques described herein may enable an automated routine to store anonymized data on a distributed record and use such ledger data to determine whether and/or how to communicate with account holders. This enables the automated routine to avoid the need to decrypt data stored on distributed records before performing computations using the ledger data. Moreover, the techniques described herein enable an automated routine to use data stored on a public distributed record as a retrieval key for accessing a private backend database. This enables the automated routine to avoid the need to perform computationally resource-intensive operations to retrieve and/or interpret backend data beyond data queries. Accordingly, various aspects of the techniques described herein improve the computational efficiency of performing blockchain-based dynamic communication. |

| Counsel: | Firm: Haynes and Boone, LLP |
| 1st Invent: | Thomas Chen (Irvine, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Methods and systems are presented for using blockchain technologies to manage the life cycle and authentication of artificial intelligence (AI) agents. When an AI agent is created, the AI agent registers itself with an authentication system. The authentication system creates identity information for the AI agent and store on a blockchain. The identity information is used to track the changes of the AI agent through its life cycle, including upgrading of the binary code, transfer of ownership, change of a delegator, and others. When the AI agent requests for access of one or more resources, the authentication system uses the information stored on the blockchain to authenticate the AI agent before granting the AI agent access to the one or more resources. |

| 1st Invent: | Syed Bari (Ancaster, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems and methods for building a trusted network of devices with intrusion detection system (IDS) using blockchain IoT (BIoT) technology are provided. The method includes registering an IoT device on a plurality of blockchain network channels. The plurality of blockchain network channels include an authentication channel, data channel, remote channel, and security channel connected to corresponding servers to perform dedicated operations such as device authentication, data management, remote operation/access control, and intrusion detection. On successful authentication, the IoT device is allowed to access, store and retrieve data stored on the blockchain. The blockchain ledger is updated after each data transaction and a new wallet identity or encrypted keys for the IoT device are issued after each transaction. The method further includes receiving an operational instruction from a front-end device and authenticating from the blockchain record, the wallet identity, user permissions and validity of operation''s parameters based on an organization''s policies. |

| Counsel: | Firm: Finch Maloney PLLC |
| 1st Invent: | Marvin Eugene Adams, III (Memphis, TN) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Technologies for trust protocol execution include a network of servers in communication with client devices. A client device splits a request into input data blocks, connects to a server, and sends an input data block to the server. The server encodes the input data block with an encoding pad to generate an encoded data block, generates a hash value as a function of the encoded data block, and modifies the encoding pad as a function of the hash value to generate a modified encoding pad. The server adds the encoded data block to a blockchain and returns an indication of the input data block stored on the blockchain. The server may add a verification puzzle based on a timestamp to the encoded data block. The server may request a security certificate from a certificate authority for a web address based on the hash value. Other embodiments are described and claimed. |

| Counsel: | Firm: Potomac Law Group, PLLC |
| 1st Invent: | Zachary S. Ankrom (Austin, TX) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Embodiments permit scope limited access to a user''s secure information using blockchain backed credential(s). A user can register with a secure information manager and control the scope with which the user''s secure information is shared. For example, the user can permit a vetted entity access to the user''s secure information via a portable access point. The user can select scope definition that control how the user''s secure information is shared with the vetted entity. The vetted entity can scan the user''s portable access point and request a credential. The credential can be a blockchain backed credential that is assigned access privileges that correspond the user''s selections. The vetted entity can then issue data access request(s) using the credential. The secure information manager can permit the vetted entity scope limited access to the user''s secure information that corresponds to the access privileges assigned to the credential. |
