Blockchain universal RFID translator
View Patent ↗An example operation may include one or more of: receiving, via an input/output interface, an encrypted RF signal from an RF identification device; decrypting, via a processing unit, the received encrypted RF signal to generate decrypted data; modifying, via the processing unit, the decrypted data to generate modified data; maintaining, via a memory, a cryptographic distributed ledger based on the decrypted data and the modified data; encrypting, via the processing unit, the modified data to generate encrypted data; updating, via the memory, the cryptographic distributed ledger based on the encrypted data; and transmitting, via the input/output interface, an updated encrypted RF signal, based on the encrypted data, to the RF identification device.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a Secure Service Container (SSC) in a blockchain, an encrypted radio frequency (RF) signal from an RF identification device associated with an item at a current location;
decrypting, by the SSC, the received encrypted RF signal to generate decrypted data associated with the item, where the decrypted data is in a first language associated with a previous location of the item;
translating, by the SSC, the decrypted data from the first language to a second language associated with the current location to generate translated data;
updating, by the SSC, the translated data to include information associated with the current location in the second language;
encrypting, by the SSC, the updated translated data to generate encrypted data;
updating, by the SSC, a distributed ledger of the blockchain to include the encrypted data; and
transmitting, by the SSC, the encrypted data to the RF identification device via an updated RF signal.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the decrypted data comprises:
first location data corresponding to the previous location of the item, and
first time data identifying a time that the item was located at the previous location, and
wherein the translated data comprises:
second location data corresponding to the current location of the item, and
second time data identifying a time that the item was located at the current location.
3. The system of claim 2 , further comprising:
identifying, by the SSC, the current location.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: identifying, by the SSC, the current location.
5. A blockchain, comprising:
a memory configured to store one or more instructions; and
a processor of a Secure Service Container (SSC) in the blockchain that when executing the one or more instructions is configured to:
receive an encrypted radio frequency (RF) signal from an RF identification device associated with an item at a current location;
decrypt the received encrypted RF signal to generate decrypted data associated with the item, where the decrypted data is in a first language associated with a previous location of the item;
translate the decrypted data from the first language to a second language associated with the current location to generate translated data;
update the translated data to include information associated with the current location in the second language;
encrypt the updated translated data to generate encrypted data;
update a distributed ledger of the blockchain to include the encrypted data; and
transmit the encrypted data to the RF identification device via an updated RF signal.
6. The blockchain of claim 5 , wherein the decrypted data comprises:
first location data corresponding to the previous location of the item, and
first time data identifying a time that the item was located at the previous location,
wherein the translated data comprises:
second location data corresponding to the current location of the item, and
second time data identifying a time that the item was located at the current location.
7. The blockchain of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
identify the current second location.
8. The blockchain of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
identify the current second location.
9. A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store one or more instructions that when executed by a processor of a Secure Service Container (SSC) in a blockchain configure the processor to perform:
receiving an encrypted radio frequency (RF) signal from an RF identification device associated with an item at a current location;
decrypting the received encrypted RF signal to generate decrypted data associated with the item, where the decrypted data is in a first language associated with a previous location of the item;
translating the decrypted data from the first language to a second language associated with the current location to generate translated data;
updating the translated data to include information associated with the current location in the second language;
encrypting the updated translated data to generate encrypted data;
updating a distributed ledger of the blockchain to include the encrypted data; and
transmitting the encrypted data to the RF identification device via an updated RF signal.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the decrypted data comprises:
first location data corresponding to the previous location of the item, and
first time data identifying a time that the item was located at the first location, and
wherein the translated data comprises:
second location data identifying the current location of the item, and
second time data identifying a time that the item was located at the current location.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the one or more instructions further configure the processor to perform:
identifying the current second location.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the one or more instructions further configure the processor to perform:
identifying the current second location.
