Abstract
Systems and method are disclosed herein comprising receiving a request to record a proposed owner of an asset at a central authority, verifying an asserted owner is a current owner of the asset based on data from a record managed by the central authority or a distributed ledger, determining an indication that the asset is not managed by the distributed ledger, and, after determining that the asset is not managed by the distributed ledger and verifying an asserted owner is a current owner of the asset, recording the proposed owner of the asset in a record of the asset at the central authority, the record comprising data indicating an asset identification and an owner identification based on the verified owner indicating the proposed owner.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by processing circuitry at a central authority, a request to record a proposed owner of a signed digital asset at the central authority, the request comprising an asset identification and a proposed owner identification, wherein the signed digital asset is digitally signed using an author's private key and configured for peer-to-peer transfer;
- verifying, by the processing circuitry, that an asserted owner is a current owner of the signed digital asset based on data from an ownership record managed by the central authority or a distributed ledger, the ownership record stored in a memory, or based on data from the distributed ledger accessed by the central authority via a network interface;
- determining, by the processing circuitry, an indication that the signed digital asset is not managed by the distributed ledger by querying the distributed ledger for an associated non-fungible token (NFT) and verifying that the associated NFT has been burned;
- and
- after determining that the signed digital asset is not managed by the distributed ledger and verifying an asserted owner is a current owner of the signed digital asset,
- recording, by the processing circuitry via a network interface, the proposed owner of the signed digital asset in a record of the signed digital asset at the central authority, the record comprising data indicating an asset identification and an owner identification based on the verified current owner indicating the proposed owner.
A system comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- receive, at a central authority, a request to record a proposed owner of a signed digital asset at the central authority, the request comprising an asset identification and a proposed owner identification, wherein the signed digital asset is digitally signed using an author's private key and configured for peer-to-peer transfer;
- verify that an asserted owner is a current owner of the signed digital asset based on data from an ownership record managed by the central authority or a distributed ledger, the ownership record stored in a memory, or based on data from the distributed ledger accessed by the central authority via a network interface;
- determine an indication that the signed digital asset is not managed by the distributed ledger by the processing circuitry querying the distributed ledger for an associated non-fungible token (NFT) and verifying that the associated NFT has been burned;
- and
- after determining that the signed digital asset is not managed by the distributed ledger and verifying an asserted owner is a current owner of the signed digital asset,
- record the proposed owner of the signed digital asset in a record of the signed digital asset at the central authority, the record comprising data indicating an asset identification and an owner identification based on the verified current owner indicating the proposed owner.
