Tiered Certificate Authority Systems for Blockchain Smart Contracts on Blockchain Cybersecurity Platforms

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• identify, by a first root authority entity of one or more root authority entities associated with a blockchain cybersecurity platform, a plurality of first entities associated with the one or more root authority entities;
• authorize, by the first root authority entity, from the plurality of first entities, one or more first entities to be certificate authorities, wherein each certificate authority is configured to audit a smart contract in a development environment before the smart contract is deployed on a first blockchain network, and wherein each certificate authority is authorized to issue, for each smart contract audited by the certificate authority in the development environment, a certificate for the smart contract based on a determination that the corresponding smart contract deployed on the first blockchain network matches the smart contract that was audited in the development environment;
• determine, by the first root authority entity, for at least a first certificate authority authorized by the first root authority entity, that one or more certificate authority authorization parameters are not satisfied;
• and
• revoke, by the first root authority entity, the certificate authority authorization for the first certificate authority, wherein each certificate issued by the first certificate authority prior to the revocation remains valid after the revocation of the certificate authority authorization.

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and a non-transitory memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
• identify, by a first root authority entity of one or more root authority entities associated with a blockchain cybersecurity platform, a plurality of first entities associated with the one or more root authority entities;
• authorize, by the first root authority entity, from the plurality of first entities, one or more first entities to be certificate authorities, wherein each certificate authority is configured to audit a smart contract in a development environment before the smart contract is deployed on a first blockchain network, and wherein each certificate authority is authorized to issue, for each smart contract audited by the certificate authority in the development environment, a certificate for the smart contract based on a determination that the corresponding smart contract deployed on the first blockchain network matches the smart contract that was audited in the development environment;
• determine, by the first root authority entity, for at least a first certificate authority authorized by the first root authority entity, that one or more certificate authority authorization parameters are not satisfied;
• and
• revoke, by the first root authority entity, the certificate authority authorization for the first certificate authority, wherein each certificate issued by the first certificate authority prior to the revocation remains valid after the revocation of the certificate authority authorization.
