Abstract

An access control system with devices that securitize one or more blockchains using three sets of rules including authentication, validation, and access is provided. The system also can include protection of signals between one or more secure DASA databases and/or one or more blockchains for various user devices. The DASA databases may exist external to, along with, or within the blockchains. Specific methods and devices for securing (primarily digital and normally two-way) communications using applications offering the combination of securing communications from user devices with reader devices, are also provided. This disclosure also provides for the securitization and/or encryption of blockchain(s) for ensuring communication signals transmitted from and data residing within databases and/or the blockchain itself are not corruptible or compromised. In addition, communication processors for monitoring statistics regarding data at rest and data on the move associated with creating these securitized blockchains are included.

A privacy skin around blockchain traffic

Both ends flip to the same record and derive the same key, unsent
USER (U) ACCESS (A) both flip to the same record derives key same key key from record + time + random encrypted blockchain ledger the key never crosses the wire · levels can be stacked

A blockchain is a public bulletin board everyone can see, so even an "encrypted" post is a locked box sitting there for hackers to chip away at. This patent gives the sender and receiver two identical magic notebooks that flip to the same new page in sync. For every message both people independently look at the same page and derive the same secret combination, so the combination never has to be mailed and never travels where it can be stolen. It also changes every single message, so cracking one tells an attacker nothing about the next.

  • Paired user and access devices holding matching records
  • DASA master plus partial databases kept in sync
  • Five-level encryption cascade, layerable on each other
  • Level 5 keys built from record + timestamp + random, never sent
