    摘要: Embodiments of the invention are directed assessing reliability between two computing devices. A distributed database may maintain reliability associations between pairs of computing devices. Each reliability association may indicate a particular device has determined (e.g., locally) that another device is reliable. In order to determine an amount of reliability between a first computing device and a second computing device, an ordered combination of the reliability associations may be determined utilizing the distributed database. The ordered combination of reliability associations may identify a reliability path between the first computing device and the second computing device. An amount of reliability may be determined based on the reliability path. An interaction between the devices may be allowed or restricted based at least in part on the amount of reliability between the computing devices.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention are directed to techniques for enabling self-certification of an electronic device to result in the issuance of a security certificate that the electronic device may use to authenticate itself to another entity. In some embodiments, the device is caused to initiate the self-certification process upon determining that a status of a current security certificate is no longer valid. In some embodiments, an electronic device may communicate with a certificate authority, which may generate a set of policy data that indicates permissions for the electronic device. The electronic device may then generate an electronic record to be associated with the security certificate, which it may sign using a private key. The certificate authority may then verify the authenticity of the signed electronic record using a public key associated with the electronic device. The electronic record may be appended to some collection of records.

    摘要: Methods and systems disclosed herein relate to providing a receiving entity with a package of assertions. A package of assertions may include a group of yes or no statements (e.g., as an answer to a question). Alternatively, or additionally, a package of assertions may comprise a clustered assertion, which is a singular yes or no statement, that is itself based on a set of underlying assertions made using information from one or more sources. A particular type of package of assertions may be selected based on the relying entity requesting the assertions, based on an assertions model. The package of assertions may be cryptographically secured.

    摘要: Provided is a system, method, and computer program product for handling fault tolerance in a blockchain enabled network system. The system includes a computing system with at least one of a plurality of processors arranged as an active processor node, at least one data storage device including a first ledger corresponding to a first blockchain and a second ledger corresponding to a second blockchain, at least one standby processor node, and at least one standby data storage device. The at least one active processor node is programmed or configured to analyze and record blocks corresponding to data received through the network system on the first ledger and the second ledger such that the first ledger and the second ledger have matching data, detect at least one failure or anticipated failure, and in response to detecting the at least one failure or anticipated failure, generating a switch-over command.
