US 11,606,191 B2 · Methods, systems, and devices for configuring a federated blockchain network

Abstract

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining, from a user device, a master-slave agreement and a first network configuration for a federated blockchain network, transmitting to a cloud service provider (CSP) node the first network configuration, generating first credentials, and transmitting the first credentials to the CSP node. The CSP node configures a first group of blockchain nodes according to the first network configuration and the first credentials. Further embodiments include transmitting the first credentials to a public server that sends it to a public blockchain node and an indication to generate a portion of the federated blockchain network. The public blockchain node configures a second group of blockchain nodes according to a second network configuration based on a public blockchain smart contract. The federated blockchain network comprises the first group of blockchain nodes and the second group of blockchain nodes. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, from a user device, a master-slave agreement for a federated blockchain network and obtaining, by the processing system, a first network configuration for the federated blockchain network;
transmitting, by the processing system, to a cloud service provider (CSP) node, the first network configuration;
generating, by the processing system, first credentials;
transmitting, by the processing system, the first credentials to the CSP node, wherein the CSP node configures a first group of blockchain nodes according to the first network configuration and the first credentials;
and
transmitting, by the processing system, the first credentials to a public server, wherein the public server sends, to a public blockchain node, the first credentials and an indication to generate a portion of the federated blockchain network, wherein the public blockchain node configures a second group of blockchain nodes according to a second network configuration based on a public blockchain smart contract, wherein the federated blockchain network comprises the first group of blockchain nodes and the second group of blockchain nodes.

3 more elements

A device, comprising:

a processing system including a processor;
and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
receiving first credentials and receiving a first network configuration from an access node for a federated blockchain network, wherein the access node obtains a master-slave agreement for the federated blockchain network, wherein the access node obtains the first network configuration for the federated blockchain network, wherein the access node generates the first credentials;
configuring a first group of blockchain nodes according to the first network configuration and the first credentials;
receiving a second network configuration from a public blockchain node;
and
configuring the first group of blockchain nodes according to the second network configuration, wherein the access node transmits the first credentials to a public server, wherein the public server sends, to a public chain node, the first credentials and an indication to generate a portion of the federated blockchain network, wherein the public blockchain node configures a second group of blockchain nodes according to the second network configuration based on a public blockchain smart contract, wherein the federated blockchain network comprises the first group of blockchain nodes and the second group of blockchain nodes.

5 more elements

A non-transitory, machine-readable storage device, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:

receiving an indication from a public server to generate a portion of a federated blockchain network according to a public blockchain smart contract, wherein the public server receives first credentials and the indication from an access node, wherein the access node receives a master-slave agreement for the federated blockchain network, wherein the access node obtains a first network configurations, wherein the access node generates the first credentials, wherein the access node transmits the first credentials to a cloud service provide (CSP) node, wherein the CSP node configures a first group of blockchain nodes according to the first network configuration and the first credentials;
and
configuring a second group of blockchain nodes according to a second network configuration based on the public blockchain smart contract, wherein the federated blockchain network comprises the first group of blockchain nodes and the second group of blockchain nodes.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
