Abstract

The invention provides a system for searching a blockchain (e.g. Bitcoin) for data/content stored in one or more blockchain transactions, and accessing that data/content. It may be used in conjunction with a protocol for searching the blockchain. An embodiment of the invention can be arranged to enable a user to search for, access, view, write and/or retrieve a portion of data provided in at least one blockchain transaction (Tx), and also arranged to identify the at least one transaction (Tx) based on a transaction index (TX index ) comprising a transaction ID and a public key associated with the transaction (Tx). The system may comprise a search facility which is either provided within the blockchain search system; or arranged to interface and/or communicate with the blockchain search system. It may also comprise at least one cryptocurrency wallet.

Claims (33)

1. A computer-implemented system comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory including executable instructions that, as a result of execution by the one or more processors, cause the computer-implemented system to at least:

enable a user to search for, access, view, write, and/or retrieve a portion of data provided in at least one blockchain transaction (Tx),

identify the at least one blockchain transaction (Tx) based on a transaction index (TX index ) comprising a transaction ID and a public key associated with the at least one blockchain transaction (Tx); and

generate a search path to identify the at least one blockchain transaction (Tx) on a blockchain, the search path comprising:

i) the transaction index (TX index ); and

ii) at least one attribute associated with the at least one blockchain transaction (Tx), wherein the at least one attribute is a mnemonic or null.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the system comprises a search facility which is:

provided within the system; or

arranged to interface and/or communicate with the system.

3. The system according to claim 1 , and further comprising:

at least one cryptocurrency wallet.

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein:

the at least one cryptocurrency wallet is arranged to generate, store and/or process hierarchical deterministic keys.

5. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one cryptocurrency wallet is arranged to store at least one cryptographic key and/or at least one token in a Trusted Execution Environment.

6. The system according to claim 1 , and further comprising:

a decompression component arranged to decompress the portion of data if it is compressed;

a recombination component; and/or

a decryption component arranged to decrypt the portion of data if it is encrypted.

7. The system according to claim 1 , and further comprising:

at least one presentation component arranged to present the portion of data to a user in an audible and/or visual form.

8. The system according to claim 1 , and further arranged to:

communicate with a cryptocurrency wallet or other resource to facilitate processing, storage and/or generation of cryptographic keys, blockchain transactions and/or digital signatures.

9. The system according to claim 1 , and further arranged to:

store the transaction index (TX index ), preferably wherein the system is arranged to store respective transaction indices for more than one transaction.

10. The system according to claim 1 , and further arranged to:

transfer control of a portion of cryptocurrency to a destination prior to accessing the portion of data.

11. The system according to claim 1 , and further arranged to:

send a request, to a peer on a blockchain, for the portion of data; and/or

receive the portion of data from a peer on the blockchain.

12. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the system is further arranged to:

use a time lock mechanism to control access to the portion of data.
