REGISTERING AND VALIDATING A NEW VALIDATOR FOR A PROOF-OF-ORIGIN BLOCKCHAIN - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022429 titled 'REGISTERING AND VALIDATING A NEW VALIDATOR FOR A PROOF-OF-ORIGIN BLOCKCHAIN

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a process for validating a new validator for a proof-of-origin blockchain. The process involves receiving an announce message that includes a unique tag, a peer identifier of the new validator, an identifier of an authorized signer, and a cryptographic signature of the authorized signer. The validity of the announce message is verified by checking the authorized signer's registration in the blockchain and verifying the cryptographic signature. If all verifications are positive, the new validator is accepted and the unique tag is mapped with the peer identifier in the blockchain. Otherwise, the new validator is refused.

  • The patent application describes a process for validating a new validator for a proof-of-origin blockchain.
  • The process involves receiving an announce message that includes a unique tag, a peer identifier of the new validator, an identifier of an authorized signer, and a cryptographic signature of the authorized signer.
  • The validity of the announce message is verified by checking the authorized signer's registration in the blockchain and verifying the cryptographic signature.
  • If all verifications are positive, the new validator is accepted for the blockchain.
  • The unique tag is mapped with the peer identifier in the blockchain.
  • If any verification fails, the new validator is refused.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Validating new validators for proof-of-origin blockchains.
  • Ensuring the authenticity and integrity of announce messages in blockchain networks.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Preventing unauthorized validators from joining the blockchain network.
  • Ensuring that only authorized signers can validate new validators.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhances the security and trustworthiness of proof-of-origin blockchains.
  • Provides a reliable mechanism for validating and accepting new validators.
  • Protects the integrity of the blockchain network by verifying the authenticity of announce messages.


Original Abstract Submitted

in validating a new validator for a proof-of-origin blockchain, an announce message is received including: a unique tag (t) uniquely identifying one fixed communication line of a subscriber of a fixed communication operator; a peer identifier (peer@) of the new validator; an identifier of an authorised signer, and a cryptographic signature (s2) of the authorised signer over at least the unique tag (t) and the peer identifier (peer@); validity of the announce message is verified, including checking from the poo blockchain that the authorised signer is registered there as an authorised signer and checking the cryptographic signature (s2) of the authorised signer in the announce message. if each checking of the verifying is positive, then accepting the new validator for the poo blockchain and mapping in the poo blockchain the unique tag with at least the peer identifier, otherwise refusing the new validator.
