System and method for securing information in a distributed network via a distributed identifier

A computer program product for securing information in a distributed network via a distributed identifier, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• receiving an information entry from one or more domains, wherein the one or more domains comprise one or more nodes of a distributed network, and wherein the information entry is provided to an originating node;
• storing the information entry on a distributed ledger of the distributed network;
• receiving a command to generate a distributed identifier for the information entry, wherein the distributed identifier is a generated number associated with the information entry based on information contained in the information entry;
• broadcasting the distributed identifier generation to a plurality of nodes in the distributed network upon receiving the command;
• and
• generating the distributed identifier, wherein the distributed identifier masks the information entry, wherein generating the distributed identifier comprises:
• initiating the distributed identifier generation;
• receiving the information entry from the one or more domains;
• applying a hash function to the information entry, wherein the information entry comprises one or more character strings;
• applying a summing function to outputs of the hash function, wherein the outputs of the hash function comprise a value for each of the one or more character strings based on a hash table;
• and
• summing with a maximum distributed identifier, wherein the maximum distributed identifier is determined from the distributed ledger.

A computer-implemented method for securing information in a distributed network via a distributed identifier, the method comprising:

• providing a computing system comprising a computer processing device and a non-transitory computer readable medium, where the non-transitory computer readable medium comprises configured computer program instruction code, such that when said computer program instruction code is operated by said computer processing device, said computer processing device performs the following operations:
• receiving an information entry from one or more domains, wherein the one or more domains comprise one or more nodes of a distributed network, and wherein the information entry is provided to an originating node;
• storing the information entry on a distributed ledger of the distributed network;
• receiving a command to generate a distributed identifier for the information entry, wherein the distributed identifier is a generated number associated with the information entry based on information contained in the information entry;
• broadcasting the distributed identifier generation to a plurality of nodes in the distributed network upon receiving the command;
• and
• generating the distributed identifier, wherein the distributed identifier masks the information entry, wherein generating the distributed identifier comprises:
• initiating the distributed identifier generation;
• receiving the information entry from the one or more domains;
• applying a hash function to the information entry, wherein the information entry comprises one or more character strings;
• applying a summing function to outputs of the hash function, wherein the outputs of the hash function comprise a value for each of the one or more character strings based on a hash table;
• and
• summing with a maximum distributed identifier, wherein the maximum distributed identifier is determined from the distributed ledger.
