Blockchain-Based Integrity Protection for CDR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240291664 titled 'Blockchain-Based Integrity Protection for CDR
The abstract describes a charging data function (CDF) device that provides integrity protection of a charging data record (CDR) by computing a hash value of the CDR, storing it in a blockchain ledger, obtaining an index for the hash value, and sending it to a charging gateway function (CGF) device.
- Simplified Explanation:
The CDF device protects charging data records by storing hash values in a blockchain ledger and sending indexes to a CGF device.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Computes hash value of CDR for integrity protection - Stores hash value and CDR identifier in a blockchain ledger - Obtains index for hash value stored in the ledger - Sends index to a CGF device for further processing
- Potential Applications:
- Secure charging data records in various industries - Ensure data integrity in charging systems - Prevent tampering with charging data
- Problems Solved:
- Protects charging data records from unauthorized access or modification - Ensures the integrity of charging data throughout the process - Provides a secure and reliable method for handling charging data
- Benefits:
- Enhanced security for charging data records - Increased trust in charging systems - Efficient and reliable data integrity protection
- Commercial Applications:
"Integrity Protection of Charging Data Records in Blockchain Technology: Enhancing Data Security in Charging Systems"
- Questions about Charging Data Function (CDF):
1. How does the CDF device compute the hash value of a charging data record? 2. What is the significance of storing hash values in a blockchain ledger for integrity protection?
Original Abstract Submitted
a charging data function, cdf, device () for providing integrity protection of a charging data record, cdr, comprising a memory and one or more processors, said memory comprising instructions which when executed on the said one or more processors, cause the cdf device to: receive, from a charging trigger function, ctf, device () the cdr; compute a hash value of the cdr; store the hash value and a cdr identifier of the cdr in a blockchain ledger (); obtain an index for the hash value stored in the blockchain ledger (); and send the index to a charging gateway function, cgf device ().
