INSTALLATION AND AUTHENTICATION OF APPLICATIONS USING BLOCKCHAIN - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028329 titled 'INSTALLATION AND AUTHENTICATION OF APPLICATIONS USING BLOCKCHAIN

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a process for installing a software application using blockchain technology. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • A request is received to install the first version of a software application.
  • The first version of the software application is stored in a blockchain ledger.
  • The first version of the software application is validated by running a hash of the blockchain.
  • After validation, the first version of the software application is installed from the blockchain to a device.
  • The software application can also be validated after being installed on the device.

Potential Applications of this Technology:

  • Software distribution: This technology can be used for secure and verifiable distribution of software applications, ensuring that the installed version matches the one stored in the blockchain.
  • Version control: The blockchain ledger can be used to track different versions of software applications, making it easier to manage updates and rollbacks.
  • Trust and transparency: By using blockchain for software installation, users can have increased trust and transparency in the process, as the validation and installation steps are verifiable.

Problems Solved by this Technology:

  • Tampering prevention: The use of blockchain ensures that the software application cannot be tampered with during the installation process, providing a secure and reliable installation.
  • Version mismatch: By validating the software application before and after installation, the technology solves the problem of version mismatch, ensuring that the correct version is installed on the device.

Benefits of this Technology:

  • Security: The use of blockchain technology provides enhanced security for software installation, reducing the risk of malware or unauthorized modifications.
  • Verifiability: The validation steps using blockchain allow users to verify the integrity of the software application, ensuring that it has not been tampered with.
  • Efficiency: By storing the software application in a blockchain ledger, the installation process can be streamlined, reducing the need for manual verification and enabling faster installations.


Original Abstract Submitted

a request to install a first version of a software application is received. the first version of the software application is stored in a first blockchain in a first distributed blockchain ledger. in response to receiving the request to install the first version of the software application, the first version of the software application is validated by running a hash of the first blockchain. in response to validating the first version of the software application, the first version of the software application is installed from the blockchain to a device. the software application may also be validated after being installed to the device.
