Central and edge processing node identification

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• machine-readable media interoperably coupled with the one or more processors and storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, perform operations comprising:
• obtaining, via an interface, identifying information of a first entity;
• generating a hash value for each of one or more components of the identifying information;
• deleting the identifying information;
• storing the hash value for each of the one or more components of the identifying information and not the identifying information;
• generating a network graph linking the hash value for each of the one or more components of the identifying information with the first entity;
• providing a hash of the identifying information to a central server;
• updating, using response data from the central server, the network graph to additionally link to a respective hash value for each component in a second set of components identifying the first entity;
• obtaining a request for identification information of the first entity;
• and
• providing, in response to obtaining the request for the identification information of the first entity and using the updated network graph, the identification information of the first entity,
• wherein obtaining the identifying information of the first entity comprises:
• obtaining, from a first edge processing node, a first hash value of information identifying the first entity;
• obtaining, from a second edge processing node, a second hash value of information identifying the first entity;
• generating a data packet that includes the first hash value and the second hash value;
• and
• providing, to (i) the first edge processing node and (ii) the second edge processing node, the generated data packet.

A non-volatile computer readable storage medium comprising readable instructions that cause a processor to:

• obtain, via an interface, identifying information of a first entity;
• generate a hash value for each of one or more components of the identifying information;
• delete the identifying information;
• store the hash value for each of the one or more components of the identifying information and not the identifying information;
• generate a network graph linking the hash value for each of the one or more components of the identifying information with the first entity;
• provide a hash of the identifying information to a central server;
• update, using response data from the central server, the network graph to additionally link to a respective hash value for each component in a second set of components identifying the first entity;
• obtain a request for identification information of the first entity;
• and
• provide, in response to obtaining the request for the identification information of the first entity and using the updated network graph, the identification information of the first entity,
• wherein obtaining the identifying information of the first entity comprises:
• obtaining, from a first edge processing node, a first hash value of information identifying the first entity;
• obtaining, from a second edge processing node, a second hash value of information identifying the first entity;
• generating a data packet that includes the first hash value and the second hash value;
• and
• providing, to (i) the first edge processing node and (ii) the second edge processing node, the generated data packet.
