MULTI-PARTY BLOCKCHAIN ADDRESS SCHEME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240235848 titled 'MULTI-PARTY BLOCKCHAIN ADDRESS SCHEME

The abstract describes a method of generating a blockchain transaction where each second party is associated with a public key and an index. The method involves creating a transaction with a locking script containing multiple sub-scripts, each linked to a specific index and containing the expected hash value of the associated public key. The locking script requires an unlocking script with a target index, public key, and signature to execute the sub-script linked to the target index. Each sub-script generates a hash of the target public key and verifies it against the expected hash value in the script, along with validating the target signature for the target public key.

  • The method involves generating a blockchain transaction with a locking script containing multiple sub-scripts linked to specific indices and public keys.
  • Each sub-script includes the expected hash value of the associated public key and verifies it against the generated hash of the target public key.
  • The unlocking script must contain the target index, public key, and signature to execute the sub-script linked to the target index.
  • This method ensures the security and authenticity of blockchain transactions by validating the public keys and signatures involved.

Original Abstract Submitted

a method of generating a blockchain transaction, wherein each second party is associated with a public key, each public key is associated with a index, and wherein the method comprises: generating a first transaction comprising a locking script comprising a plurality of sub-scripts, each sub-script being associated with a respective index and comprising a expected hash value of the public key associated with the index associated with that sub-script, and wherein the locking script is configured to require a first unlocking script to comprise a target index, a target public key, and a target signature, and execute the sub-script associated with the target index, wherein each sub-script is configured to generate a hash of the target public key and require the generated hash value to match the respective expected hash value included in that sub-script, and verify that the target signature is a valid signature for the target public key.
