International Classification:

H04L 9/40
G06F 21/62
G06F 16/22

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method, a device, and/or a system of ephemeral control of a data resource according to a use policy. In one embodiment, a method for ephemeral control of a data resource includes receiving a request from a device to use a protected resource stored in a non-hierarchical data structure. A use policy defining an authorized context for which the device can use the protected resource based on one or more contextual value is extracted from a data node. A set of use terms is generated and returned to the device. The protected resource is then streamed to the device, where the device includes a process to enforce ephemerality of the protected resource by maintaining a ledger comprising data identifying the protected resource that is in an active use by the device and a corresponding instance of the use terms associated with the authorized use of the protected resource.

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method, a device, and/or a system of ledger token transfer of a distributed ledger network through cryptographic binding to a transferrable possession token. In one embodiment, a method for rapid and secure ledger-less transfer of a ledger token includes generating a public-private key pair, securely storing the private key and utilizing the public key as a public address. The method verifies a ledger transaction on a distributed ledger network associated the asset with the public address. The method generates a possession token having a state indicated by a state indicator. The state evolves upon transfer between two computing devices. The method cryptographically associates the ledger token and the possession token through incorporation of the public address into data generating the state indicator. The possession token is transferred to a computing device over the network while retaining the private key in secure custody.

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method, a device, and/or a system of controlling permissible actions a computing device can perform on a data resource based on a use policy evaluating an authorized context of the device. In one embodiment, a request is received from a device to use a protected resource stored in a non-hierarchical data structure. A use policy defining an authorized context for which the device can use the protected resource based on contextual value(s) is extracted from a data node. A use transaction is initiated that gathers the contextual values to determine whether the use request satisfies the authorized context. A set of use terms is generated and returned to the device. The protected resource is then streamed to the device, where the device includes a process to enforce ephemerality of the protected resource by maintaining the protected resource in association with the set of use terms.

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method, a device, and/or a system of authentication through verification of an evolving identity credential. In one embodiment, an authentication method includes receiving an identity claim from a device that includes a device root hash of a hashed history of the device, referred to as a device hastory. Data of a user profile associated with the device that includes a profile root hash of a profile hastory is retrieved. The device root hash and the profile root hash, each of which may be computed as the output of a hash function with inputs including one or more previous authentication transactions, are compared and determined to be identical to verify an identity of a user and/or a device. Alternatively, a comparison may be determined to be non-identical and the authentication request rejected and/or the user profile suspended.

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method, a device, and/or a system of initiation and transfer of a cryptographic database and/or a cryptographic unit. In one embodiment, an electronic mint generates and mints proofs in an indelible media using a hash function. The proofs and/or an origin hash based on the proofs may be usable to seed a hash chain of a cryptographic bearer database and/or a cryptographic unit with an evolving state hash. The database and/or unit is issued from a treasury server and transferred between user devices as coordinated by a tracking server that utilizes one or more immutable records to track the database and/or unit and retain uniqueness of the bearer database in its most evolved state. Transfers may update user state hash of an evolving user profile usable as an authentication token and/or to show assent to a transaction resulting in a seal hash of acceptance.

International Classification:

G06F 21/62
G06F 16/22

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of efficient data query and utilization through a semantic storage model. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a unique identifier (UID) to uniquely address a domain within a datastore, defining a content element (NT element) storing a primitive data and/or drawing reference(s) to other domains within the datastore according to a directed acyclic graph architecture, an identity entity element (TY element) of the domain storing data that alone or in combination distinguishes the domain from one or more other domains within the datastore, and a context element (XT element) of the domain that further characterizes the domain and/or draws reference(s) to other domains within the datastore which may violate the directed acyclic graph architecture to define a flexible contextual reference. A key may be generated such that the TY element is individually addressable within the datastore.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method, a device, and/or a system of control over data resource utilization through a security node control policy evaluated in the context of an authorization request. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an authorization request from a device to utilize a protected resource within a datastore. A control policy extracted from a security node defines an authorized context for the device to utilize the protected resource. The control policy includes a control algorithm comprising one or more conditionals comparing context values to control ranges. Context values are retrieved to form a context dataset. Utilization of the protected resource is authorized when it is determined by the control algorithm that the context dataset conforms to the authorized context. The security node may organize data into a domain structure that includes a unique identifier, an identity element, a content element, and a context element.

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method, a device, and/or a system of a data resource control data structure. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving an authorization request from a device to utilize a protected resource within a datastore. A control policy that defines an authorized context in which the device is authorized to utilize the protected resource is extracted from a security node of a non-hierarchical data structure. The control policy includes a control algorithm and optionally a control dataset. Context values specified in the control algorithm are retrieved to form a context dataset. Utilization of the protected resource is authorized when it is determined by the control algorithm that the context dataset conforms to the authorized context. The security node may organize data into a domain structure that includes a unique identifier, an identity element, a content element, and a context element.
