Abstract
A blockchain is generated as a cloud-based software service in a blockchain environment. The blockchain immutably archives particular usage of any device, perhaps as requested by a user. The user may thus peruse past or historical usage (such as message logs) and individually select historical messages that are desired for a blockchain recordation in the blockchain. Moreover, the usage may be publicly ledgered by still other blockchains, thus providing two-way ledgering for improved record keeping.
Claims7
A method executed by a device providing a blockchain recordation that documents a short messaging service (SMS) text message, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the device, a blockchain command specifying the blockchain recordation documenting the SMS message;
- in response to the blockchain command, querying, by the device, an electronic database for the SMS message specified by the blockchain command for the blockchain recordation, the electronic database associating a usage information to historical SMS messages sent and received;
- identifying, by the device;
- the usage information in the electronic database that is associated with the SMS message specified by the blockchain command for the blockchain recordation;
- generating, by the device, a usage hash value representing the usage information by hashing the usage information using an electronic representation of a hashing algorithm;
- and
- incorporating, by the device, the usage hash value representing the usage information into a block of data associated with a blockchain;
- wherein the SMS message specified by the blockchain command is represented by the usage hash value incorporated into the block of data within the blockchain.
