Efficient access of chainable records

Abstract

A method is provided for managing event access policies using a user interface. The method includes defining event access policies to be applied to incoming transactions, where each policy identifies a field identifier. The method further includes applying the event access policies to incoming transactions, resulting in the generation of event access records for each policy determined to apply to the incoming transactions. The event access records include field values captured from the transaction and a corresponding group identifier generated for the transaction. Additionally, event blocks are written to an event graph for the incoming transactions, independent of applying the event access policies. Each event block includes a group identifier, content, and a hash for the transaction. The method enables efficient and flexible management of event access policies that facilitate later transaction querying.
