Inventors:  Genders: F=1, M=1
Abstract:
2000 char max
Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for modification of RPA controls during a workflow without impacting bot performance. A background scan initiated in parallel to an RPA application workflow may identify values for an application control parameter and a corresponding bot control parameter. Hashes of the values may be validated against a key value pair stored as a block in a distributed ledger. If changes have been made to the application control values, the bot control value will not match the application control value and validation will fail. If validation fails, an override may be generated for the bot value. An updated bot value may be stored in a temporary cache until the workflow is complete. Following completion of the workflow, a new block may be added to the blockchain storing a new key value pair including the application control value and the updated bot control value.

A cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process. A cyber risk event relating to transfer of data to a first party is identified using a first smart contract module. Cyber risk control of the cyber risk event is enabled using a second smart contract module. Cyber risk associated with the cyber risk control is transferred using a third smart contract module. The first smart contract, the second smart contract and the third smart contract are integrated into a multi-tier decentralized interaction that is recorded in a blockchain token utilizing a decentralized append only distributed ledger and a consensus algorithm for agreement to change requests on the distributed ledger. A premium associated cyber risk transfer is paid. Once the first party confirms receipt of the data, proof of premium is released into an insuring entities account.

Counsel:  Firm: Haynes and Boone, LLP
1st Invent:  Suryatej Gundavelli (San Jose, CA)
Inventors:  Genders: F=0, M=2
Abstract:
2000 char max
Methods and systems described herein improve blockchain storage operations in a variety of environments. A blockchain compression system may determine that a blockchain compression condition associated with a blockchain having a first plurality of blocks has been satisfied. In response, the system compresses the first plurality of blocks using a first hash tree into a first root hash value and stores the first plurality of blocks in a first database. The blockchain compression system generates a first new era genesis block that includes the first root hash value and a first database address of the first database at which the first plurality of blocks are stored. The blockchain compression system stores the blockchain at one or more nodes in a blockchain network. The blockchain includes the first new era genesis block and any previous new era genesis blocks. This may effectively reduce storage requirements for the blockchain, in various embodiments.

Abstract:
2000 char max
Data verification in federate learning is faster and simpler. As artificial intelligence grows in usage, data verification is needed to prove custody and/or control. Electronic data representing an original version of training data may be hashed to generate one or more digital signatures. The digital signatures may then be incorporated into one or more blockchains for historical documentation. Any auditor may then quickly verify and/or reproduce the training data using the digital signatures. For example, a current version of the training data may be hashed and compared to the digital signatures generated from the current version of the training data. If the digital signatures match, then the training data has not changed since its creation. However, if the digital signatures do not match, then the training data has changed since its creation. The auditor may thus flag the training data for additional investigation and scrutiny.

Abstract:
2000 char max
Embodiments are provided herein describe a proof of majority block consensus method based upon a mutually enforced collaboration between the nodes. A node may maintain a random subset of connected peer nodes, refreshed at every epoch through network gossiping protocols. The node may propagate received transactions to selected peers in the random subset. The node may generate a transaction ballot from received transactions and iteratively update the transaction ballot by mutual exchanges with other nodes until the network converges. The node may generate a blockand a hash thereofbased upon its understanding of the transaction ballot. The node may also receive hashes from other connected nodes and identify a hash generated by the majority of peer nodes. If the node determines that its own hash is the one generated by the majority of peer nodes, the node may update its local copy of the blockchain by appending its block.

Techniques for transferring registration of a domain name from a first registrant to a second registrant for cryptocurrency in a blockchain network and in the Domain Name System (DNS) are disclosed. The techniques can include receiving a purchase request message comprising the domain name, at least one purchase parameter, and a second registrant network identifier, and sending a purchase instruction message to an executable program on a blockchain for the blockchain network, the purchase instruction message including the domain name and the second registrant network identifier, such that the executable program writes at least the domain name, the second registrant network identifier, and an identifier of a gaining registrar to a deed contract for the domain name and emits an event representing a request to transfer registration of the domain name.

Abstract:
2000 char max
Methods and systems are described for facilitating blockchain operations based on network congestion. The system may facilitate blockchain operations by generating recommendations for blockchain operations based on values for one or more blockchain operation characteristics that are determined based on a likelihood that a given blockchain operation will be completed in a timely manner. The system thus ensures accounts for transient congestion in a blockchain network, while also minimizing a burden on a user device attempting to perform a blockchain operation.

Abstract:
2000 char max
Systems and methods are described for generating and storing immutable blockchain records with respect to authorized derivative works based on content associated with a non-fungible token (NFT). For example, a first NFT stored on a blockchain may be owned by a first blockchain address, and that owner may cryptographically sign a message indicating or representing that the individual approves of a created or to-be-created second NFT that is based at least in part on content of or associated with the first NFT. The cryptographic signature may be authenticated, and then a system may generate new data for storage in a new blockchain record. The new blockchain record may identify both the first NFT and the second NFT, and also include data proving that the owner of the first NFT approved of the second NFT.

Abstract:

A computing system that is configured to receive requests to send computer executable programs to a data owner system associated with a data source for execution of the computer executable program by the data owner system. The data owner system may store to a blockchain a permitted list of programming functions, function libraries, function syntax definitions, and execution environment requirements. The computing system may be further configured to retrieve the permitted lists. The computing system may be further configured to evaluate the computer executable program using the permitted lists to determine if the computer executable program may be executed by the data owner system. The evaluation may be performed by generating an abstract syntax tree of the computer executable program. The computing system may be further configured to send the computer executable program to the data owner system if the computer executable program satisfies the conditions of the permitted lists.
