Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media of wrapping digital assets. One method includes receiving, from a central provider system, a digital asset signed by a central private key associated with a digital asset on a central ledger, and verifying the digital asset based on a central public key. The method further includes updating the digital asset including an assignee field, and receiving an attribute for a second assignee of the digital asset. The method further includes wrapping utilizing the private key of the public and private key pair, the digital asset with the attribute and receiving environmental data. The method further includes determining the at least one condition of the attribute is satisfied, and updating the assignee field.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media of exchanging digital assets using a public key cryptography framework. One method includes storing a plurality of digital assets on an internal ledger, and receiving a signed exchange request signed by a private key of a public and private key pair associated with a digital asset on the internal ledger, wherein the signed exchange request includes a destination address of an inter-provider ledger. The method further includes providing, to the inter-provider ledger, a public key of the public and private key pair based on interfacing with the destination address of the inter-provider ledger via a first API, and determining, from the inter-provider ledger, the signed exchange request was verified. The method further includes updating the internal ledger by removing the public and private key pair, and updating a central ledger by interfacing with a central address of the central ledger via a second API.

A system, method, and apparatus for carrying out a value transfer is provided. A method includes receiving, by a computing system of a financial institution, a de-signcrypted value transfer message including terms of a value transfer from an account of a sending party to an account of a merchant, wherein a receiving party desires to make a purchase from the merchant and the value transfer is a payment from the sending party account to the merchant account; and one or more spending limitations on the desired purchase, wherein the payment is contingent on the desired purchase meeting the spending limitations. The method then includes verifying the authenticity of the de-signcrypted message using a public key of the sending party and a private key of the financial institution; and dispersing funds according to the terms of the value transfer.

Various embodiments relate to a method performed by a processor of a computing system. An example method includes receiving a digitally signed cross-border payment message, the digitally signed cross-border payment message generated by digitally signing a first hash of a cross-border payment message with a first financial institution private key. A first financial institution public key is retrieved, the first financial institution public key of a public/private key pair that includes the first financial institution private key. The first financial institution public key is verified that it is associated with a first financial institution. A second hash of the cross-border payment message is generated. The second hash is digitally signed with the first financial institution public key to generate a verification cross-border payment message, wherein data integrity of the cross-border payment message can be verified if the verification cross-border payment message matches the digitally signed cross-border payment message.
