Cryptographic technology platform and methods for providers to enable users to monetize their data

A method of securely obtaining decrypted data comprising:

• a provider providing platform comprising a private authenticated application programming interface;
• obtaining an application that contains a private authentication key, wherein the obtaining is performed by a user;
• interacting with the provider platform wherein the interacting provides an authenticated request to the provider platform and the provider stores a record of the interaction, wherein the interacting is performed by a user and creates user data;
• creating a newly created secret exchange key associated with the user data;
• submitting an exchange key to a provider wherein the exchange key is associated with the user data;
• submitting a proof grant to a data contract;
• making the user data available to purchase;
• providing a decryption key to a purchaser;
• decrypting the data for the purchaser once the purchase satisfies criteria to obtain the data.

A system comprising:

• a provider;
• an Ethereum network;
• a decryption and encryption function;
• a user;
• and
• a purchaser.

An encrypted system comprising:

• an Ethereum network;
• an InterPlanetary File System;
• a proof grant;
• a data token;
• a master wallet;
• a user wallet;
• a purchaser wallet;
• a data contract;
• and a master data contract.

A system for providing public access to encrypted data comprising:

• at least one computer processer;
• a provider;
• a public database;
• a provider private database;
• a user wherein the user interacts with a provider application that generates user data;
• wherein the provider stores a record of the interaction;
• wherein the provider creates a secret exchange key;
• wherein the system executes an authenticated request for the exchange key;
• wherein the user submits the exchange key and the user's public address;
• wherein the provider validates the exchange key;
• wherein the provider finds at least one data contract that can accept the user data;
• wherein the provider encrypts the data.
