Smart contract mapping to trusted hardware in a data confidence fabric
Mapping applications or smart contracts to a data confidence fabric. A smart contract is deployed and executed in a data confidence fabric based on trust requirements of the smart contract. The trust requirements are mapped to the nodes of the data confidence fabric. A ledger is created on the identified nodes and the application is deployed to and run on the identified nodes.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving trust requirements of an application in preparation for deploying the application into a data confidence fabric;
mapping the application to nodes that are part of the data confidence fabric and that satisfy the trust requirements; and
deploying the application to the nodes that satisfy the trust requirements;
creating a ledger on at least some of the nodes that satisfy the trust requirements unless the ledger already exists; and
configuring the ledger to include an audit log, the audit log provides a proof of configuration that includes at least which nodes were running the application, the trust insertion technologies of the nodes running the application, and the confidence scores of the nodes running the application.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application is a smart contract, further comprising:
operating the application such that transactions associated with the application are stored in the ledger.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trust requirements specify a trust level, further comprising mapping the application to nodes whose confidence scores satisfy the trust level.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trust requirements specify a confidence score restriction, further comprising mapping the application to nodes that satisfy the confidence score restriction.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trust requirements specify a trust insertion technology, further comprising mapping the application to nodes that have the specified trust insertion technology.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trust requirements specify one or more of a trust level, a confidence score restriction, a trust insertion technology, and/or a consensus node level.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application comprises a smart contract, further comprising receiving payment when the application is deployed, run, and/or audited successfully.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising deploying multiple applications into the data confidence fabric, wherein each of the multiple applications is associated with a ledger and are run on nodes that satisfy the trust requirements of the corresponding application.
9. A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving trust requirements of an application in preparation for deploying the application into a data confidence fabric;
mapping the application to nodes that are part of the data confidence fabric and that satisfy the trust requirements; and
deploying the application to the nodes that satisfy the trust requirements;
creating a ledger on at least some of the nodes that satisfy the trust requirements unless the ledger already exists; and
configuring the ledger to include an audit log, the audit log provides a proof of configuration that includes at least which nodes were running the application, the trust insertion technologies of the nodes running the application, and the confidence scores of the nodes running the application.
10. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the application is a smart contract, further comprising:
operating the application such that transactions associated with the application are stored in the ledger.
11. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the trust requirements specify a trust level, the operations further comprising mapping the application to nodes whose confidence scores satisfy the trust level.
12. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the trust requirements specify a confidence score restriction, the operations further comprising mapping the application to nodes that satisfy the confidence score restriction.
13. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the trust requirements specify a trust insertion technology, the operations further comprising mapping the application to nodes that have the specified trust insertion technology.
14. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the trust requirements specify one or more of a trust level, a confidence score restriction, a trust insertion technology, and/or a consensus node level.
15. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the application comprises a smart contract, the operations further comprising receiving payment when the application is deployed, run, and/or audited successfully.
16. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , the operations further comprising deploying multiple applications into the data confidence fabric, wherein each of the multiple applications is associated with a ledger and are run on nodes that satisfy the trust requirements of the corresponding application.
