Abstract

A method and system for providing a secure network includes a dApp that can act as a compiler that relies on independent authentication via another node, dApp, or wallet. The dApp, additionally or alternatively, is an independent resource ledger and/or serves only to render, secure, or transfer content, distributed via other external databases or ledgers, and accessed via a token exchange.

Claims (25)

1. A computer-implemented method when executed by data processing hardware causes the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a user, content for distribution via a decentralized application;

generating, by a user device associated with the user, a content identity (ID) associated with the content, the content ID comprising a unique key;

wrapping, by the user device, the content and the content ID with a first token generated by a distributed ledger;

assigning, by the user device, using a second token generated by the distributed ledger, a recipient access to the content; and

decrypting, by the recipient, the content using at least one of the first token or the second token.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first token is stored at the user device or as a hash on a blockchain.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the content ID comprises using the InterPlanetary File System.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content is stored on the user device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content is stored remote from the user device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recipient decrypts the content via a blockchain wallet.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise assigning, by the user device, using a third token generated by the distributed ledger, a second recipient access to the content.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user is associated with a wallet identity, and wherein the wallet identity is stored, by the distributed ledger, on a blockchain.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise revoking, by the user device, the assigned access to the recipient based on revocation of the second token.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise revoking, by the user device, the assigned access to the recipient based on revocation of the first token.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise viewing, by the recipient, the content via a virtual data room.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise generating a watermark for the content.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise verifying the watermark using perceptual hashing.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first token comprises a non-fungible token.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein decrypting, by the recipient, the content comprises authenticating the second token via the distributed ledger.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein authenticating the second token comprises accessing a software table.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein decrypting, by the recipient, the content comprises authenticating, by the distributed ledger, the recipient.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein authentication the recipient comprises authenticating gamification, bio-security, hardware security, node security, role-based security, container-based security, or human permissioning.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the gamification comprises a zero knowledge proof.

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise transferring ownership of the first token from the user to a second user.
