Zero-knowledge distributed ledgers with confidential assets and inter-asset auditing capabilities

Abstract

A method may include: a broadcaster computer program generating, for participants in a network in a transaction, a commit, an audit token, and a proof of consistency; the broadcaster computer program broadcasting, the commits, the audit tokens, and the proofs of consistency for each participant to all participants in the network; the participant computer programs generating complimentary commits, complimentary audit tokens, complementary proofs of consistency, proofs of equivalency, and a proof of assets; the broadcaster computer program receiving from each of the participant computer programs, the proof of assets, the complimentary commit, the complimentary audit token, the complementary proof of consistency, and the proof of equivalency; the broadcaster computer program and/or the participant computer programs verifying, the proofs of assets, the proofs of balance, the proofs of consistency, and the proofs of equivalency; and the broadcaster computer program approving the transaction based on the verification.
