System and method for manipulation of secure data

A computer-implemented method executed on a ledger engine for movement and manipulation of secure data, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• collecting computing system metadata comprising information about the hardware and software on the computing system;
• identifying a protocol data unit on the network;
• amending the protocol data unit to allow enforcement of where computation or persistence of the protocol data unit occurs in the network;
• tokenizing the protocol data unit to provide security against unauthorized use;
• extracting protocol data unit metadata from the protocol data unit, the protocol data unit comprising a source and a destination;
• sending the protocol data unit metadata to a ledger engine;
• receiving an optimal pathway or rejection from the automated planning service;
• when an optimal pathway is received, transmitting the protocol data unit along the optimal pathway;
• when a rejection is received, rejecting further transmission of the protocol data unit;
• retrieving a regulatory guideline from the authority database pertaining to the protocol data unit based on the protocol data unit metadata;
• extracting a rule from the regulatory guideline applicable to the protocol data unit based on the protocol data unit metadata;
• retrieving administrative metadata from the source of the protocol data unit, the administrative data comprising an access log;
• receiving the computing system metadata;
• storing the protocol data unit metadata, the administrative metadata, the computing system metadata, and the rule on the non-volatile storage device;
• updating a distributed computational graph with the protocol data unit metadata, the administrative metadata, the computing system metadata, and the rule from the non-volatile storage;
• identifying an optimal pathway for the protocol data unit to travel, the optimal pathway selected from one or more computed policy compliant pathways;
• and
• sending the optimal pathway to the data packet manager.

A system for movement and manipulation of secure data employing a ledger engine, comprising one or more computers with executable instructions that, when executed, cause the system to:

• collect computing system metadata comprising information about the hardware and software on the computing system;
• identify a protocol data unit on the network;
• amend the protocol data unit to allow enforcement of where computation or persistence of the protocol data unit occurs in the network;
• tokenize the protocol data unit to provide security against unauthorized use;
• extract protocol data unit metadata from the protocol data unit, the protocol data unit comprising a source and a destination;
• send the protocol data unit metadata to a ledger engine;
• receive an optimal pathway or rejection from the automated planning service;
• when an optimal pathway is received, transmit the protocol data unit along the optimal pathway;
• when a rejection is received, reject further transmission of the protocol data unit;
• retrieve a regulatory guideline from the authority database pertaining to the protocol data unit based on the protocol data unit metadata;
• extract a rule from the regulatory guideline applicable to the protocol data unit based on the protocol data unit metadata;
• retrieve administrative metadata from the source of the protocol data unit, the administrative data comprising an access log;
• receive the computing system metadata;
• store the protocol data unit metadata, the administrative metadata, the computing system metadata, and the rule on the non-volatile storage device;
• update a distributed computational graph with the protocol data unit metadata, the administrative metadata, the computing system metadata, and the rule from the non-volatile storage;
• identify an optimal pathway for the protocol data unit to travel, the optimal pathway selected from one or more computed policy compliant pathways;
• and
• send the optimal pathway to the data packet manager.
