AUTHENTICATION OF COMMUNICATION SESSION PARTICIPANTS USING BLOCKCHAIN - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022414 titled 'AUTHENTICATION OF COMMUNICATION SESSION PARTICIPANTS USING BLOCKCHAIN

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application that discloses methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums that use authentication tokens recorded on a blockchain to identify and authenticate participants in a network-based communication session, such as a meeting.

  • Participants can provide a token recorded on a blockchain when joining a meeting.
  • The communication service can use the provided token to identify and authenticate the user.
  • User-specific customizations and settings can be applied.
  • Participants can be admitted to the meeting without entering a waiting room or needing explicit permission.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Network-based communication sessions, such as online meetings or conferences.
  • Secure authentication and identification in various online platforms and services.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of identifying and authenticating participants in network-based communication sessions.
  • Reduces the need for manual intervention in admitting participants to meetings.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced security through the use of blockchain-based authentication tokens.
  • Streamlined user experience by eliminating waiting rooms and explicit permission requirements.
  • Efficient and automated identification and authentication process for participants.


Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums which utilize authentication tokens recorded to a blockchain to identify and/or authenticate participants of a network-based communication session such as a network-based meeting. when joining the meeting, the participant may provide a token recorded on a blockchain to the communication service from the blockchain. the communication service may then identify and/or authenticate the user based upon the provided token. various user-specific customizations and settings may then be applied and the user may be admitted to the meeting without having to enter a waiting room and be explicitly let in.
