Systems and methods for controlling access to a blockchain

A computer-implemented method for controlling access to a blockchain comprising:

• receiving, at a security agent, a message and transmitting the message to a controller;
• transmitting the message from the controller to a blockchain interface;
• analyzing the message at the blockchain interface to identify a blockchain identity associated with the message;
• reformatting the message, at the blockchain interface, to comply with blockchain policies corresponding to the blockchain identity associated with the message, wherein prior to reformatting, the message is decoded;
• and
• wherein the controller comprises a content scanner which performs a heuristic analysis of the message for malware content using one or more databases that store data related to known malware and virus threats;
• and
• transmitting the reformatted message to the blockchain corresponding to the blockchain identity associated with the message.

A computer-implemented method of controlling access to a blockchain comprising:

• receiving a message at a security agent, wherein the message has a blockchain identity associated with a blockchain;
• wherein the blockchain interface receives the message and reformats the message to comply with blockchain policies corresponding to a blockchain identity associated with the message, wherein prior to reformatting, the message is decoded;
• and
• wherein the controller comprises a content scanner which performs a heuristic analysis of the message for malware content using one or more databases that store data related to known malware and virus threats;
• and
• transmitting the message from the security agent to a controller;
• using a content scanner, at the controller, to identify malware associated with the message, wherein in response to determination that the content scanner identifies malware associated with the message, the controller discards the message;
• and
• transmitting the message from the controller to the blockchain corresponding to the blockchain identity associated with the message.
