| Abstract: 2000 char max | Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reporting transactions in a blockchain. The method generally includes instantiating a plurality of worker processes for processing blocks from a blockchain in parallel. Each worker process is generally associated with an offset into a buffer of blocks from the blockchain to be reported to one or more computing resources. A subject block to be reported to the one or more computing resources is selected from the buffer. The subject block is generally a block inserted into the buffer by a worker process. The subject block is validated based on a block number associated with the subject block and a block number of a next block to be reported. Based on validating the subject block, the subject block is reported to the one or more computing resources, and the subject block is marked in the buffer as a reported block. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Various embodiments are disclosed for self-authorized identification and services, and applications therefor. A computing device may generate a public-private key pair and a self-authorizing identifier (SAID), a byte string that is globally unique and immutable to the computing device. A remote service implementing a blockchain protocol may store a public key of the public-private key pair in a distributed blockchain ledger, which is used to authenticate the computing device in various network-based communications, and encrypt or decrypt such communications. An enclave service may be employed to asynchronously send messages between computing devices. The computing device may have an isolated environment that permits collaboration applications to execute therein, as well as an actallet that permits distribution applications not executing in the isolated environment to access the SAID or data pertaining thereto. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Provided is a method and/or system that facilitates offline sharing and verifying digital identity claims among NFC enabled portable smart devices that are enabled by enabling applications. The enabled portable smart-devices store, verify and share identity, peer to peer and offline. Each identity claim is digitally signed by an identity issuing authority, and the claim can be verified to reliably detect tampering of the claim and thus brings trust in the process of claim sharing and verifying the identity/credentials embodied in the claim. Either Blockchain or non-blockchain, as the backend system of the method/system, can be used, via an inter-operable middleware layer, for onboarding claim holders, claim verifiers, and claim issuers, and for creating/issuing, for managing digital identity claims. NFC, as the communication protocol, facilitates secure data sharing among the NFC-enabled devices. |

| 1st Invent: | Paul Samuel Farag (Bellevue, WA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A system can detect a change associated with a subscriber identity module (SIM) of a wireless device and generate a data record indicative of the change. In one example, the data record is stored on a digital ledger residing on a cryptographically secured and distributed peer-to-peer network (e.g., blockchain) that stores multiple data records of changes to SIMs of wireless devices. The system can determine whether a wireless device is impacted by malicious activity based on an age of its data record stored on the distributed ledger. For example, an aged data record indicates a lower probability that the wireless device was the subject of a SIM swap fraud whereas a newer data record indicates a higher probability of a SIM swap fraud. |
