SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURE KEY MANAGEMENT USING DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECHNOLOGY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240348424 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURE KEY MANAGEMENT USING DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECHNOLOGY
The present disclosure involves systems and methods for securely managing and administering an encryption/decryption key using distributed ledger technology (DLT). In this process, a client may possess a data attribute or a dataset of data attributes, which they encrypt using tokenization parameters. The client then requests the creation of an encryption key to be applied to the token. A third-party Key Management System (KMS) creates an encryption key and a salt, which is applied to the token before encryption. A decryption key is also created and securely stored at the KMS. The encrypted token is then transmitted to a third-party consolidation platform, which requests access to the decryption key to unveil the underlying token.
- Client encrypts data attribute using tokenization parameters
- Encryption key and salt are created by a third-party KMS

Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for securely managing and administering an encryption/decryption key using distributed ledger technology (dlt). in some examples, a client may possess a data attribute (or a dataset of data attributes). the client may receive tokenization parameters to apply to the data attribute to encrypt the data attribute. after tokenizing the data attribute, the client may then request the creation of an encryption key to be applied to the token. a third-party key management system (kms) may create an encryption key and a salt. the salt may be applied to the token, and the salted token may then be encrypted. additionally, a decryption key may be created and stored securely at the third-party kms. the client may transmit the encrypted token to a third-party consolidation platform, wherein the consolidation platform requests access to the decryption key to unveil the underlying token.
