Blockchain-Based Authentication And Authorization - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054437 titled 'Blockchain-Based Authentication And Authorization
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed technologies involve verifying ownership of a blockchain address by receiving a request from a second computing device, generating a challenge content, sending the challenge content to the requestor, receiving a signature comprising a hash of the challenge content generated using a private key, obtaining a public key corresponding to the private key, and validating the signature using the public key. Upon validating the signature, a characteristic is associated with a user associated with the blockchain address.
- Request received from a second computing device to verify ownership of a blockchain address
- Challenge content generated and sent to the requestor
- Signature received containing a hash of the challenge content generated using a private key
- Public key corresponding to the private key obtained
- Signature validated using the public key
- Characteristic associated with a user associated with the blockchain address upon validating the signature
Potential Applications
- Secure authentication processes - Identity verification for blockchain transactions - Access control for digital assets
Problems Solved
- Ensuring ownership of blockchain addresses - Preventing unauthorized access to digital assets - Enhancing security in blockchain transactions
Benefits
- Improved security for blockchain transactions - Streamlined verification processes - Enhanced user trust in blockchain technology
Original Abstract Submitted
the disclosed technologies include receiving a request from a second computing device to verify ownership of a blockchain address. a challenge content is generated and sent to the requestor. a signature is received comprising a hash of the challenge content generated using a private key. a public key corresponding to the private key is obtained, and the signature is validated using the public key. in response to validating the signature, a characteristic is associated with a user associated with the blockchain address.
