Abstract
Described are systems and techniques for leveraging a virtual distributed trustless database using access-enabling codes. The computations use private codes. Each computation includes the information from all previous computations so that a chain of computations is maintained and controlled. A central system insures that dual computations do not occur.

(canceled)
A distributed virtual trustless ledger based access control system for controlling access to restricted access areas comprising:
- a processor based resource access coordinator that performs actions of:
- defining one or more specifications for an event, wherein the event is related to a restricted access area, and wherein a valid electronic ticket enables entry into the restricted access area;
- allocating an electronic ticket for the event based on the one or more specifications;
- linking the electronic ticket for the event to a first trustless ledger transaction;
- publishing the electronic ticket for the event;
- using a second trustless ledger transaction, wherein the second trustless ledger transaction includes information from the first trustless ledger transaction:
- assigning the electronic ticket for the event to a requestor;
- tracking assignment of the electronic ticket to the requestor and subsequent assignments of the electronic ticket to one or more additional requestors, wherein assigning the electronic ticket includes linking the electronic ticket for the event to the second trustless ledger transaction, wherein linking the electronic ticket to the second trustless ledger transaction corresponds to tracking ownership of the electronic ticket;
- generating an access-enabling code for the electronic ticket using a private code;
- and
- granting access to the restricted access area upon presentation of the access-enabling code at an entry point of the restricted access area.

A computer-implemented method comprising:
- defining one or more specifications for an event, wherein the event is related to a restricted access area, and wherein a valid electronic ticket enables entry into the restricted access area;
- allocating an electronic ticket for the event based on the one or more specifications;
- linking the electronic ticket for the event to a first trustless ledger transaction;
- publishing the electronic ticket for the event;
- using a second trustless ledger transaction, wherein the second trustless ledger transaction includes information from the first trustless ledger transaction:
- assigning the electronic ticket for the event to a requestor;
- tracking assignment of the electronic ticket to the requestor and subsequent assignments of the electronic ticket to one or more additional requestors, wherein assigning the electronic ticket includes linking the electronic ticket for the event to the second trustless ledger transaction, wherein linking the electronic ticket to the second trustless ledger transaction corresponds to tracking ownership of the electronic ticket;
- generating an access-enabling code for the electronic ticket using a private code;
- and
- granting access to the restricted access area upon presentation of the access-enabling code at an entry point of the restricted access area.
7 more elements
A computer program product, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
- defining one or more specifications for an event, wherein the event is related to a restricted access area, and wherein a valid electronic ticket enables entry into the restricted access area;
- allocating an electronic ticket for the event based on the one or more specifications;
- linking the electronic ticket for the event to a first trustless ledger transaction;
- publishing the electronic ticket for the event;
- using a second trustless ledger transaction, wherein the second trustless ledger transaction includes information from the first trustless ledger transaction:
- assigning the electronic ticket for the event to a requestor;
- tracking assignment of the electronic ticket to the requestor and subsequent assignments of the electronic ticket to one or more additional requestors, wherein assigning the electronic ticket includes linking the electronic ticket for the event to the second trustless ledger transaction, wherein linking the electronic ticket to the second trustless ledger transaction corresponds to tracking ownership of the electronic ticket;
- generating an access-enabling code for the electronic ticket using a private code;
- and
- granting access to the restricted access area upon presentation of the access-enabling code at an entry point of the restricted access area.
