Systems and methods for distributed peer to peer analytics

A computer-implemented method for operating a permissioned distributed ledger on a peer to peer electronic network including a plurality of node computing devices, the method comprising the steps of:

• implementing, by a DataAdmin node of the plurality of node computing devices, a certificate authority which issues and manages a plurality of public and private keys for controlling access to specific blocks on the permissioned distributed ledger, wherein the DataAdmin node is configured to control access to anonymized data over the electronic network;
• assigning, by the DataAdmin node, a first private key to a data owner, wherein the first private key designates ownership of data blocks encrypted using the first private key;
• receiving, by a collector node of the plurality of node computing devices, a transaction envelope encrypted with the first private key of the data owner, the transaction envelope including compiled data captured from a point-of-sale computing device associated with the data owner, wherein the compiled data is added to a data block, and wherein the data block is validated by the plurality of node computing devices and added to the permissioned distributed ledger;
• receiving, by the DataAdmin node from the data owner subsequent to addition of the data block to the permissioned distributed ledger, an instruction to grant, to a candidate node, a first level of access to a specified entry of the permissioned distributed ledger corresponding to the data block;
• setting, by the DataAdmin node, access permissions for the candidate node, including assigning a permission key of the plurality of public and private keys, the permission key corresponding to the first level of access to the data block;
• and
• registering, by the DataAdmin node, the candidate node on the electronic network according to the access permissions as an analytics node, including providing the permission key to the candidate node.

A system for operating a permissioned distributed ledger on a peer to peer electronic network including a plurality of node computing devices, the system comprising:

• a collector node computing device programmed to receive a transaction envelope encrypted with a first private key of a data owner, the transaction envelope including compiled data captured from a point-of-sale computing device associated with the data owner, wherein the compiled data is added to a data block, and wherein the data block is validated by the plurality of node computing devices and added to the permissioned distributed ledger;
• and
• a DataAdmin node computing device programmed to:
• implement a certificate authority which issues and manages a plurality of public and private keys for controlling access to specific blocks on the permissioned distributed ledger, wherein the DataAdmin node computing device is configured to control access to anonymized data over the electronic network;
• assign the first private key to the data owner, wherein the first private key designates ownership of data blocks encrypted using the first private key;
• receive, from the data owner subsequent to addition of the data block to the permissioned distributed ledger, an instruction to grant, to a candidate node, a first level of access to a specified entry of the permissioned distributed ledger corresponding to the data block;
• set access permissions for the candidate node, including assigning a permission key of the plurality of public and private keys, the permission key corresponding to the first level of access to the data block;
• and
• register the candidate node on the electronic network according to the access permissions as an analytics node, including providing the permission key to the candidate node.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions thereon for operating a permissioned distributed ledger on a peer to peer electronic network including a plurality of node computing devices, the instructions including:

• a first set of instructions executable by at least one processor of a collector node computing device to cause the collector node computing device to receive a transaction envelope encrypted with a first private key of a data owner, the transaction envelope including compiled data captured from a point-of-sale computing device associated with the data owner, wherein the compiled data is added to a data block, and wherein the data block is validated by the plurality of node computing devices and added to the permissioned distributed ledger;
• and
• a second set of instructions executable by at least one processor of a DataAdmin node computing device to cause the DataAdmin node computing device to:
• implement a certificate authority which issues and manages a plurality of public and private keys for controlling access to specific blocks on the permissioned distributed ledger, wherein the DataAdmin node is configured to control access to anonymized data over the electronic network;
• assign the first private key to the data owner, wherein the first private key designates ownership of data blocks encrypted using the first private key;
• receive, from the data owner subsequent to addition of the data block to the permissioned distributed ledger, an instruction to grant, to a candidate node, a first level of access to a specified entry of the permissioned distributed ledger corresponding to the data block;
• set access permissions for the candidate node, including assigning a permission key of the plurality of public and private keys, the permission key corresponding to the first level of access to the data block;
• and
• register the candidate node on the electronic network according to the access permissions as an analytics node, including providing the permission key to the candidate node.
