Authenticated modifications of multi-party ledger data during user connectivity via in-flight systems

An in-vehicle system comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the in-vehicle system to:

• provide data connectivity to a user device located onboard a commercial passenger vehicle on which the in-vehicle system is implemented, wherein the data connectivity enables a communication between the user device and a server associated with a third-party service;
• receive, from the user device, a request to modify multi-party ledger data recorded on a digital distributed ledger, the multi-party ledger data defining a contract between a user identity represented by the user device and the third-party service;
• and
• connect to a remote computing platform that provides the digital distributed ledger to modify the multi-party ledger data, wherein the remote computing platform is located external to the commercial passenger vehicle.

A method comprising:

• providing, by a processor of a computing platform, a digital ledger configured to store ledger entries for users and third-party services based on validations determined by the computing platform;
• generating, by the processor, a ledger entry on the digital ledger to define a contract between a digital identity of a user and a third-party service;
• while an in-vehicle system of a commercial passenger vehicle provides a limited data connectivity to the user, detecting, from the in-vehicle system by the processor, a request by the user to modify the ledger entry on the digital ledger;
• obtaining, from the in-vehicle system by the processor, authentication data relating to the request by the user;
• and
• based on validating at least the digital identity of the user via the authentication data, modifying, by the processor, the ledger entry on the digital ledger according to the request.
