==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USE IN APPENDING LOG ENTRIES TO DATA STRUCTURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240267229 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USE IN APPENDING LOG ENTRIES TO DATA STRUCTURES

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The patent application describes a method for appending log entries to a data structure using encryption and digital signatures.

* Communication device receives log entry from a terminal.
* Log entry is signed with a private key specific to the device.
* Signed log entry is transmitted to an identity provider (IDP).
* Communication device receives a signed, encrypted log entry from the IDP.
* Signature of the encrypted log entry is verified using a public key associated with the IDP.
* Encrypted log entry is appended to a digital identity in the communication device.

'''Key Features and Innovation:'''
* Use of encryption and digital signatures for secure log entry management.
* Integration of private and public key pairs for authentication.
* Collaboration between communication device and IDP for secure data handling.

'''Potential Applications:'''
* Secure logging systems for sensitive information.
* Identity verification processes in digital transactions.
* Secure communication protocols in IoT devices.

'''Problems Solved:'''
* Ensuring the integrity and authenticity of log entries.
* Preventing unauthorized access to log data.
* Establishing secure communication channels between devices.

'''Benefits:'''
* Enhanced data security and privacy.
* Reliable audit trails for tracking system activities.
* Streamlined authentication processes for users.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
Secure Data Logging and Management: Implementing secure logging systems in industries handling sensitive information.
Digital Identity Verification Services: Providing secure identity verification solutions for online transactions and access control systems.

'''Questions about the Technology:'''
1. How does the use of encryption and digital signatures improve the security of log entries?
2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this method in large-scale communication networks?

'''Frequently Updated Research:'''
Stay updated on advancements in encryption technologies and secure communication protocols for enhanced data protection.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

systems and methods are provided for use in appending log entries to a data structure. one exemplary method includes receiving, at a communication device, a log entry from a terminal and signing the log entry with a private key of a key pair specific to the communication device. the method also includes transmitting the signed log entry to an identity provider (idp) and receiving, by the communication device, from the idp, a signed, encrypted log entry. the method further includes verifying, by the communication device, a signature of the signed, encrypted log entry based on a public key associated with a key pair specific to the idp and then appending the encrypted log entry to a digital identity included in the communication device.
