US 2021/0067518 A1 · SYSTEM FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ELECTRONIC DATA ACCESS AND PROCESSING FUNCTIONS WITHIN A DISTRIBUTED SERVER NETWORK

Abstract

A system provides for authorization of data access and processing functions within a distributed server network using a delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. In particular, the system may use assign authorization levels to each node within the network environment. Certain actions or processes performed within the network (e.g., potentially damaging actions) may require that the node proposing the action meets a threshold authorization level before authorizing the action. The system may further increase or decrease authorization levels for each node depending on the outcomes of the proposed actions. In this way, the system may provide a secure way to authorize certain actions or processes taken within a computing environment.

Dependent claims

A system for authorization of data access and processing functions within a distributed server network, the system comprising:

a memory device with computer-readable program code stored thereon;
a communication device;
and
a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device and the communication device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute the computer-readable program code to:
allocate one or more authorization tokens to one or more nodes of a distributed ledger;
determine, based on the one or more authorization tokens, an authorization level for each of the one or more nodes of the distributed ledger;
receive, from a submitter node, an access request for the distributed ledger;
based on an authorization level of the submitter node or an authorization level of one or more validator nodes, validate the access request via the validator nodes;
and
based on validating the access request, resolve the access request.
