Abstract

Methods and systems for use in a blockchain network are presented. A method comprises: associating identification information with a private key or with a custodian of the private key, wherein the identification information enables initiation or execution of one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the blockchain network; accessing, by at least one first computing device in the blockchain network or at least one second computing device in the blockchain network, an issuance digital facilitator for facilitating the initiation or execution of the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the blockchain network, the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the blockchain network involving the at least one first computing device or the at least one second computing device; and connecting the identification information associated with the private key or the custodian of the private key, to the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations.

Claims (37)

1. A method for use in a network, wherein the network may be a blockchain network, cloud computing environment, or distributed ledger system, the method comprising:

determining generation of a private key for a user or device in the network;

associating identification information with the private key or with a custodian of the private key, wherein the identification information enables initiation or execution of one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network, and wherein the identification information enables tracking of transaction information, wherein the transaction information is associated with the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network;

accessing or providing, by at least one first computing device in the network, or at least one second computing device in the network, an issuance digital facilitator for facilitating the initiation or execution of the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network, the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network involving the at least one first computing device or the at least one second computing device;

connecting the identification information associated with the private key or associated with the custodian of the private key, to the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network such that the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations are non-anonymously initiated or executed distributed ledger-based computing operations;

synchronizing the transaction information with the network; and

preventing access to the private key by at least one third computing device in the network, wherein the identification information associated with the private key or with the custodian of the private key is accessible by the at least one third computing device in the network and at least one fourth computing device in the network.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the private key is not accessible to the at least one fourth computing device in the network.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification information enables tracking of data associated with the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first computing device or the at least one second computing device comprises or accesses a digital wallet.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a dashboard for enabling visual access to the identification information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification information is at least one of recoverable, traceable, storable, or transmittable.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification information comprises geographic or network location information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification information provides authorization for the initiation or execution of the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations comprises at least one data sharing operation.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification information is accessible by a server located outside of the network.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification information is accessible via a user interface.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification information associated with the private key or the custodian of the private key is reconciled for visual access via a graphical user interface.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification information is used for verifying approval associated with sharing of data in the network.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein parametric information associated with the issuance digital facilitator is associated with or enables generation of the identification information associated with the private key or associated with the custodian of the private key.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first computing device or the at least one second computing device comprises an artificially intelligent computing device, or wherein the at least one first computing device or the at least one second computing device executes a machine learning operation.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network comprise a transfer of a network token among devices in the network.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network comprises either a public network or a private network.

18. A system for use in network, wherein the network may be a blockchain network, cloud computing environment, or distributed ledger system, the system comprising one or more memory systems comprising instructions, when executed by one or more computing device processors located in the network, configured to:

determine generation of a key for a user or device in the network;

associate identification information with the key or with a custodian of the key, wherein the identification information enables initiation or execution of one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network, the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network involving at least one first computing device, and wherein the identification information enables tracking of transaction information, wherein the transaction information is associated with the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network;

access or provide an issuance digital facilitator for facilitating the initiation or execution of the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network;

connect the identification information associated with the key or associated with the custodian of the key to the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network such that the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations are non-anonymously initiated or executed distributed ledger-based computing operations; and

deny access to the key by at least one second computing device in the network, wherein the identification information associated with the key or with the custodian of the key is accessible by the at least one second computing device in the network or at least one third computing device in the network.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the network comprises either a public network or a private network.

20. A method for use in network, wherein the network may be a blockchain network, cloud computing environment, or distributed ledger system, the method comprising:

determining generation of a key for a user or device in the network;

associating identification information with the key or with a custodian of the key, wherein the identification information enables initiation or execution of one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network, and wherein the identification information enables tracking of transaction information, wherein the transaction information is associated with the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network;

accessing or providing, by at least one first computing device in the network or at least one second computing device in the network, an issuance digital facilitator for facilitating the initiation or execution of the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network, the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network involving the at least one first computing device or the at least one second computing device;

connecting the identification information associated with the key or associated with the custodian of the key, to the one or more distributed ledger-based computing operations in the network;
