Abstract:
The disclosed computer-implemented method for performing computing cluster node switchover may include (i) detecting an indication to switch an assignment of a transaction task away from a first network node in a computing cluster, (ii) executing, in response to detecting the indication, by each network node in a set of multiple network nodes within the computing cluster, a switchover algorithm to select a second network node, (iii) switching over the assignment of the transaction task from the first network node to the second network node, and (iv) performing, by the second network node, at least part of a remainder of the transaction task in response to switching over the assignment of the transaction task from the first network node to the second network node. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Technologies are shown for secure management of a data file secured on a data file management blockchain that involve generating a genesis block for a data file management blockchain that contains a data file to be managed and signing the genesis block to commit the genesis block to the data file management blockchain. One or more transaction data blocks are generated for the data file management blockchain that each include a modification to the data file and the blocks are signed to commit them to the blockchain. In some examples, the modifications describe changes to the data file and the transaction data blocks are traced to the genesis block and a current data file generated by applying the modifications on the transaction data blocks to the data file in a sequence determined by an order of the one or more transaction data blocks in the data file management blockchain.
Abstract:
Technologies are shown for secure management of personal information data involving storing personal information data in a personal information data block and committing the personal information data block to a personal information data blockchain and authorizing access to the personal information data by a platform entity by storing a platform identifier corresponding to the platform entity in authorized access data. An access request is received from the platform entity that includes the platform identifier for the first platform entity. If the platform identifier is verified to be in the authorized access data, the personal information data is obtained from the personal information data blockchain and returned to the platform entity. In some examples, the authorized access data includes permissions that identify portions of the personal information data that the platform entity can access. In other examples, the authorized access data is secured on an authorized access data blockchain.
Abstract:
Technologies are shown for content distribution on a blockchain involving generating a content distribution data block on a content distribution data blockchain, that stores digital content, data identifying the digital content, an owner identifier, an access holder identifier, and a use conditions attribute for identifying use requirements for the digital content. A use requirement is defined in the use conditions attribute. An owner identified in the owner identifier sets the access holder identifier to an identifier for a user entity. An access request is received from the user entity and, in response, whether a current use condition of the user entity satisfies the use requirement in the use conditions attribute is verified. If it is verified that the current use condition of the user entity satisfies the use requirement in the use conditions attribute, the digital content is distributed to the first user entity.
Abstract:
A data synchronization (DS) computing device is described herein, the DS computing device configured to retrieve an update request from a queue, the update request including a key value and a requesting party identifier. The key value identifies at least one data record. The DS computing device is also configured to identify key lookup data associated with the update request, the key lookup data including one or more updated data record elements, and determine whether a release is needed from at least one stakeholder associated with the key value. The DS computing device is configured to transmit a release request to the stakeholder, when the release is needed. The DS computing device is further configured to receive a release response from the stakeholder, the release response indicating that the release has been authorized, and transmit an update response to the requesting party, the update response including the key lookup data.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a two-way data transfer and synchronization system. The data transfer and synchronization system includes a provider system and a customer system. The provider system includes a web service hosted by a web server connected to a computer network and a first database. The customer system includes a client application, connected to the computer network and a second database (e.g., SIS database). The provider system cannot read data from the second database. The client application is configured to send requests to the web service and to receive HTTP responses from the web service. The responses from the web service are executed by the client application so that changes made to the second database are also made to the first database, and vice versa.
