Block-chain enabled service provider system including permission data structure and state channel monitoring

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive an electronically signed request from a user device to access a service device, the electronically signed request comprising:
• a user identifier assigned to the user of the user device;
• and
• one or more parameters related to a service provided by the service device;
• verify the one or more parameters of the electronically signed request satisfy conditions for access;
• update a permission data structure specific for the service device stored on a decentralized ledger, the permission data structure comprising a plurality of user identifiers and an indication of whether each user identifier is authorized to access the service device;
• provide changes to the permission data structure stored on the decentralized ledger, the provided changes used to update a locally stored permission data structure;
• receive a plurality of requests from the user device through a state channel for the service;
• provide, for each request in the plurality, the service to the user of the user device;
• detect that a pre-determined expiration of the state channel has occurred;
• and
• provide a request indicating a total number of services provided for the plurality of requests received through the state channel.

A method comprising:

• receiving a signed message from a user device requesting for a service, the signed message comprising a user identifier assigned to the user of the user device;
• extracting the user identifier assigned to the user of the user device;
• verifying the user identifier assigned to the user of the user device is authorized to access the service device by querying a locally stored permission data structure polled from a distributed ledger;
• opening, responsive to verifying that the user identifier is authorized to access the service device, a state channel with the user device, the state channel enabling the user device to receive additional services provided by the service device;
• receiving a plurality of requests from the user device through the state channel for the service;
• providing, for each request in the plurality, the service to the user of the user device;
• detecting that a pre-determined expiration of the state channel has occurred;
• and
• providing a request indicating a total number of services provided for the plurality of requests received through the state channel.
