Systems and Methods for Data Backup and Authentication Using Blockchain

A method for communicating with blockchain storage system for providing data backup for communication or authentication, the method comprising:

• generating a plurality of sequential tasks;
• and
• generating a first cryptographically verifiable ledger represented by a first sequence of blocks, each block containing one or more execution records associated with a respective one of the plurality of sequential tasks, and each block containing a hash value associated with at least one previous block in the first sequence of blocks;
• receiving the plurality of sequential tasks over a period of time, from a computing system;
• generating a second cryptographically verifiable ledger represented by a second sequence of blocks, the second sequence of blocks corresponding to at least a subset of the first sequence of blocks including at least one block corresponding to a last one of the plurality of tasks to be received by at least one electronic system;
• determining, in response to an unexpected termination of communication between the computing system and the at least one electronic system, at least one of whether the at least one block in the second sequence of blocks is authentic or whether the last one of the plurality of tasks conflicts with a current operation of the at least one electronic system, and
• performing one of execution of the last one of the plurality of sequential tasks or execution of exception handling based on at least one of whether the at least one block in the second sequence of blocks is authentic or whether the last one of the plurality of tasks conflicts with a current operation of the at least one electronic system.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that are executable by a processing device, wherein execution of the instructions by the processing device causes the processing device to:

• generate a plurality of sequential tasks;
• and
• generate a first cryptographically verifiable ledger represented by a first sequence of blocks, each block containing one or more execution records associated with a respective one of the plurality of sequential tasks, and each block containing a hash value associated with at least one previous block in the first sequence of blocks;
• receive the plurality of sequential tasks over a period of time, from a computing system;
• generate a second cryptographically verifiable ledger represented by a second sequence of blocks, the second sequence of blocks corresponding to at least a subset of the first sequence of blocks including at least one block corresponding to a last one of the plurality of tasks to be received by at least one electronic system;
• determine, in response to an unexpected termination of communication between the computing system and the at least one electronic system, at least one of whether the at least one block in the second sequence of blocks is authentic or whether the last one of the plurality of tasks conflicts with a current operation of the at least one electronic system, and
• perform one of execution of the last one of the plurality of sequential tasks or execution of exception handling based on at least one of whether the at least one block in the second sequence of blocks is authentic or whether the last one of the plurality of tasks conflicts with a current operation of the at least one electronic system.
