| 1st Invent: | Erik Tierney (Lexington, MA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for multi-blockchain token rebalancing. According to certain embodiments, a target ratio defining a first quantitative relationship between an amount of a token present is determined for each of a plurality of blockchains. A current amount of the token is received for a first blockchain, and in some embodiments, a first ratio is generated for the token present on each of the plurality of blockchains, based on the current amount. The current amount is compared to the target ratio to generate a ratio difference. Based on the ratio difference, a rebalancing transaction is executed on the first blockchain to bring the amount of the first token closer to the target ratio for the first blockchain. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Methods that provide a blockchain network for entities to securely collaborate with respect to rate card data records and data transactions triggering various events. In these methods, a computing device obtains, from a first blockchain node of an enterprise, via a blockchain channel, a rate card data record that includes at least one unique identifier, primary information about the rate card data record, and a plurality of data values that change over time. The rate card data record is in a form of a distributed ledger blockchain. The computing device generates, using a set of rules in a smart contract, a data transaction based on one or more values in the rate card data record. The data transaction is in the form of the distributed ledger blockchain. The computing device further provides, to a second blockchain node, via the blockchain channel, the data transaction that triggers an executable event. |

| 1st Invent: | Gunjan Vijayvergia (San Antonio, TX) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Techniques are described for managing access to data stored in a blockchain, and for managing the communication of blockchain data to other entities. A private key may be generated and issued to an external entity to enable the external entity to access an internal (e.g., private blockchain). The external entity may be an external (e.g., public) blockchain, device, process, or user that is outside an internal network. The key may be associated with metadata that includes constraints, conditions, or rules governing access to the blockchain. An authorized entity may employ the key to request access to the blockchain via access management module(s), and the access management module(s) may employ the metadata to determine whether to approve the request. The access management module(s) may also employ rules governing outbound communication of data from internal blockchain(s) to external entities. |

| 1st Invent: | Pablo Jess Gardella (Heidelberg, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A device and method provide a visible or audible indication of whether an integrated circuit (IC) is authentic using cryptographic hashes stored on a blockchain. The IC includes a cryptographic mining circuit that creates blocks for storage in the blockchain. Each such block includes the value of a cryptographic hash function applied to a serial number unique to the IC and the hash value most recently stored in the blockchain. The necessary data are communicated between the IC and a blockchain server by an intermediary electronic authentication device, which also receives data from the server that indicate whether the second hash value equals an expected hash value computed by (or provided to) the server. The electronic authentication device accordingly provides a suitable visible or audible message to a user. |

| 1st Invent: | Dan Stone (Oakland, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Methods and systems are described herein for recommending network processing routes when conducting blockchain operations. For example, the system may receive a first user request to perform a first blockchain operation across one or more computer networks to access a first blockchain asset. The system may then determine a first processing characteristic for the first user request and a first plurality of locations of the first blockchain asset (e.g., across the one or more computer networks). The system may then determine a first plurality of network routes to a first subset of the first plurality of locations. The system may then filter the first plurality of network routes (e.g., based on the first processing characteristic) to generate a first subset of the plurality of network routes. Based on the first subset of the plurality of network routes, the system may generate a first recommendation for performing the blockchain operation. |

| 1st Invent: | Prashant Khare (Mumbai, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=2, M=5 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A system for resolving exceptions in requests determines that a request comprises an exception. The exception impeded processing the request. The system generates a block in a blockchain network. Based on the stored details in the block, the type of exception is identified. Accordingly, the block is segregated for exception processing based on its exception type. The system stores the exception in the block. The system compares the request with user information previously provided by the user. The system determines a similarity score between the request and the user information. The system compares the similarity score with a threshold percentage. In response to determining that the similarity score exceeds the threshold percentage, the system determines that the exception can be resolved and resolves the exception. |

| 1st Invent: | Kevin Tobin (Avon, CT) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Blockchain technology is used to provide security of electronic systems. The disclosed technology allows for a dynamic bond of trust to be applied to the field of information security without the need for a single point of trust to first be established. The lines of trust between electronic systems or devices is established by distributing information among the systems or devices. This allows for easy identification of commonalities and/or decision making whereby policy(s)/action(s)/monitoring/etc. can be enforced when those commonalities align. Simultaneously, deviations from those commonalities can be identified and policy(s)/action(s)/monitoring/etc. may also be invoked. The use of blockchain technology enables investigative and responsive actions to detect and exploit a potential attacker on a network. |
