Abstract: A system for order delivery security using blockchain includes a container configured to: add a new block to a blockchain when an item of a customer order is added to or removed from the container, wherein the new block contains an order ID of the customer order, a customer name, items in the customer order, a delivery address of the customer order, and a delivery date of the customer order; a delivery vehicle configured to: carry the container; and add a new block to the blockchain when an item of the customer order is added to or removed from the vehicle, wherein the new block contains the order ID of the customer order, the customer name, the items in the customer order, the delivery address of the customer order, and the delivery date of the customer order; and a lock configured to: be attached to and secure the container; store a copy of the blockchain locally in memory of the lock; and communicate with the delivery vehicle. The vehicle carrying the container is further configured to communicate with the lock to determine that the container has been loaded, unloaded or is still on the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for determining a provenance of an item to be sold on a marketplace is provided. The method includes: generating, by a first computer, a blockchain for the item to be sold on the marketplace; storing the blockchain of the item on the first computer; receiving, by the first computer, from a second computer a request of determining the provenance of the item; in response to the request, sending, by the first computer, to the second computer the blockchain of the item; receiving, by the second computer, the blockchain of the item from the first computer; analyzing, by the second computer, the blockchain of the item in accordance to the set of access authorization levels; and determining, by the second computer, based on the analyzation, whether the item has an acceptable provenance.

Abstract: A system and a method for the verification and visualization of subcomponents in a completed assembly is disclosed. The system receives upstream product component sourcing manifest from upstream source addresses. The system receives one or more downstream product component sourcing manifest from one or more downstream source addresses. The system generates a cryptographic verifiable ledger of transaction records based on the upstream and downstream manifests and upstream and downstream source addresses. The system propagates transaction records across a network. The system retrieves the records and instantiates a display tree graph structure based on the transactions in the master cryptographic ledger.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for identifying, via a processor, a plurality of causes for a vehicle to record data on a blockchain, wherein one cause in the plurality of causes is a repetition of a previous journey. The system generates route comparison data by comparing, via a processor as the vehicle is moving, current journey data for a current journey to previous journey data of at least one previous journey by: comparing a current journey start time to a previous journey start time; comparing a current journey travel time to a previous journey travel time; and comparing current journey route coordinates to previous journey route coordinates. Then based on the route comparison data, the system generates a side block which references the previous block in the block chain but contains only distinctions from the previous block. The side block is then added to the block chain.
