US 2024/0160703 A1 · SECURE DIGITAL ASSET LEASING SYSTEM

Abstract

Techniques are described for providing a secure digital asset leasing system that enables digital assets to be leased or loaned from owners' computing devices to lessees' computing devices. For example, once a digital asset is leased to a lessee using the secure digital asset leasing system, the original owner of the digital asset may cease to have access to the digital asset until the end of the lease period. The leasing or loaning of a digital asset can broadly refer to a process in which a lessee obtains authorization to use or “consume” the digital asset (e.g., to display the digital asset on a digital display device) obtained from the owner for a defined duration. During the lease period, a trusted computing device associated with the lessee periodically synchronizes to a synchronization authentication service. A digital asset is accessed or consumed by a lessee using an approved trusted computing device that is securely connected to a display unit.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

identifying, by a digital asset leasing system, a first token on a first distributed ledger, the first token including data indicating a lease of a digital asset by a first entity to a second entity, the digital asset stored on a first computing device associated with the first entity;
storing, on a second distributed ledger, a second token indicating that the digital asset is to be stored on a second computing device associated with the second entity;
sending, via a secure connection established between the digital asset leasing system and the second computing device, a copy of the digital asset;
sending, to the second computing device, an encrypted device challenge value;
storing, on a third distributed ledger, a synchronization request token including a synchronization counter value for a current time period;
and
obtaining, from the second computing device, an unencrypted copy of the encrypted device challenge value.

Non-transitory computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

identifying, by a digital asset leasing system, a first token on a first distributed ledger, the first token including data indicating a lease of a digital asset by a first entity to a second entity, the digital asset stored on a first computing device associated with the first entity;
storing, on a second distributed ledger, a second token indicating that the digital asset is to be stored on a second computing device associated with the second entity;
sending, via a secure connection established between the digital asset leasing system and the second computing device, a copy of the digital asset;
sending, to the second computing device, an encrypted device challenge value;
storing, on a third distributed ledger, a synchronization request token including a synchronization counter value for a current time period;
and
obtaining, from the second computing device, an unencrypted copy of the encrypted device challenge value.
