A system described herein may identify a particular value that was wirelessly received by a User Equipment ('UE') at a first time. The particular value may have been recorded to a blockchain, along with a second time, at which the particular value was outputted by a base station of a wireless network. The particular value may include a randomly generated number. The system may determine a location of the base station from which the particular value was outputted. The location of the UE may be determined based on a delay time associated with the particular value, which may be determined based on a difference between the first and second times. The location of the UE may further be determined (e.g., using triangulation techniques) based on values outputted by other base stations, for which the blockchain includes records indicating times at which such values were outputted by the other base stations.

Systems and methods for validation of wireless network infrastructure using blockchain techniques

In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including: generating, by a processor, verification data; encoding, by the processor, the verification data within a base avatar using a steganography algorithm to generate an augmented avatar; and transmitting, by the processor, the augmented avatar to a recipient.

Avatar identity protection using steganography

A system described herein may receive a request to bridge an asset from a first distributed ledger to a second distributed ledger. The system may record, to the first distributed ledger, information indicating that the asset is frozen. The first distributed ledger may maintain information indicating that the frozen asset remains associated with an owner of the asset. The system may record, to the second distributed ledger, a bridged version of the asset, and may link the asset to the bridged asset. The system may identify a transfer of the bridged version of the asset to a second owner, and record, to the first distributed ledger and based on the linking of the asset to the bridged asset, information disassociating the first owner from the asset.

Systems and methods for cross-chain feature sets for digital assets

An exemplary method includes an access management system receiving a signed message that is associated with a non-fungible digital asset and that includes a non-fungible digital asset identifier and a nonce. The non-fungible digital asset may be configured to provide access to an access-restricted resource. Based on the non-fungible digital asset identifier included in the signed message, the access management system may access a distributed record that is configured to store ownership information associated with the non-fungible digital asset. Based on the signed message and the ownership information stored in the distributed record, the access management system may verify that a user of the non-fungible digital asset is authorized to access the access-restricted resource.

Systems and methods for using a non-fungible digital asset to facilitate accessing an access-restricted resource

The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for authenticating a user. A first request is received to set up authentication information with respect to a user, wherein the first request specifies a type of information to be used for future authentication of the user. It is determined whether the type of information related to the user poses risks based on a reverse information search result. The type of information for being used for future authentication of the user is rejected when the type of information is determined to pose risks.

Biometric based self-sovereign information management based on reverse information search

Systems and methods for blockchain ledger growth management using separation of a blockchain ledger into multiple blockchain ledgers (each ledger having a state that can be tracked and used). The systems and methods also include linking the separated ledgers by utilizing a linking application and smart contracts added to the separated ledgers.

Blockchain ledger growth management

A user device may invoke, for a user associated with an unavailable user device, a guest mode, and may connect the user device with a network device based on invoking the guest mode. The user device may provide credentials of the user and a secure input of the user to the network device based on invoking the guest mode, and may receive an identity service and an emergency service for the user when the secure input is authenticated by the network device. The user device may associate, via the identity service, the user with the user device to enable the user to utilize the emergency service, and may provide, via the emergency service, one or more emergency notifications. The user device may receive an indication of the user exiting the guest mode, and may remove the credentials of the user from a memory based on the indication.

Systems and methods for providing surrogate credentials and a secure guest mode for mobile devices

An exemplary method includes a digital asset management system generating a set of collectible non-fungible digital assets, generating metadata specifying that non-fungible digital assets included the set of collectible non-fungible digital assets are configured to combine together to form a layered scene configured to be presented by a computer system, and recording, in a distributed record configured to track ownership of non-fungible digital assets, ownership information associated with the set of collectible non-fungible digital assets.

Systems and methods for digital asset management

A system can include a producer device to receive reference data from a reference station. The system can include a queue device to store a reference message, corresponding to the reference data, in a message queue. The system can include a mapping device to store mapping information indicating that the message queue is associated with the reference station. The system can include a consumer device to identify the message queue as being associated with a microservice to be provided to a client device based on a microservice request. The message queue can be identified based on the mapping information. The consumer device can obtain the reference message from the message queue, generate corrections data associated with the client device, and provide the corrections data.

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for data fragmentation and reconstruction are provided. Random number generation information, indicating a number of fragments into which data stored by a client device is to be fragmented, is received. The data is fragmented according to the number of fragments as a set of fragments. Authentication data is incorporated with the set of fragments. A set of entities capable of storing the set of fragments with the authentication data is identified. The set of fragments with the authentication data are stored across the set of entities.

Data fragmentation and reconstruction

A first device may receive, from a second device associated with an emergency motor vehicle (EMV), EMV-tracking information and a communication that the EMV is in emergency response mode and may determine, based on the EMV-tracking information, that the EMV is approaching an intersection. The first device may receive, from a third device associated with a user vehicle, user-tracking information. The first device may determine, based on the user-tracking information, that the user vehicle is approaching the intersection. The first device may determine, based on the EMV-tracking information and the user-tracking information, whether the EMV is predicted to collide with the user vehicle. The first device may provide, to the second device and based on the determination of whether the EMV is predicted to collide with the user vehicle, a first notification including information regarding safety of the EMV proceeding through the intersection.

Systems and methods for avoiding intersection collisions

A device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive, by a blockchain node, a content consumption report from a user device relating to a digital content item provided by a content provider device to the user device and add content consumption data from the content consumption report to a blockchain associated with the blockchain node. The processor may be further configured to receive, by the blockchain node, a request for consumption information relating to the digital content item stored in the blockchain from a rights-holder associated with the digital content item; verify, by the blockchain node, that the rights-holder is authorized to access the requested consumption information; and provide, by the blockchain node, the requested consumption information from the blockchain to the rights-holder.

Content consumption measurement for digital media using a blockchain

Technologies for compressing a blockchain. In some examples, the technologies include removing selected blocks within a blockchain, and replacing the selected blocks with a summary block and a padding block. Each block of the selected blocks includes data in a certain state (such as data in an obsolete state). The technologies can include generating the summary block and padding blocks according to the data in the selected blocks and an original root hash included in the selected blocks and other blocks of the blockchain. The generating of the summary and padding blocks can include generating a new root hash in the summary and padding blocks that only replaces the original root hash in the summary and padding blocks. The generation of the new root hash can be based on a part of a header of a non-selected block of the blockchain directly linked to an end block of selected blocks.
