Latest Patents

Lin’s listed patents address privacy, verification, and recordkeeping through blockchain technology.

“Blockchain-Based Anonymous Trusted Voting Method, Apparatus and Related Device” describes a voting process that hashes original voting content to create a commitment value. The method blinds that value using information from other voters, signs the resulting commitment tuple, and combines it with signature information from other voters to form a vote tuple. After verification, the vote tuple and related commitment information are uploaded to a blockchain. The commitment information can be used to decrypt the vote tuple.

“Timestamp Generation Method and Apparatus, and Electronic Device and Storage Medium” presents an alternative to timestamp systems that rely on a trusted third party to record information. The method hashes a file record and sends the hash to a random issuer. The issuer signs the hash together with the time it received it, and the resulting signature is stored on a blockchain as the file’s timestamp.
