CPC G06Q 20/3829 (2013.01) [G06F 21/45 (2013.01); G06F 21/645 (2013.01); G06Q 20/3827 (2013.01); G06Q 20/409 (2013.01)] | 20 Claims |
1. A digital asset ecosystem, comprising:
an electronic processing device configured to (i) capture a digital asset at a first time of asset capture, (ii) compute a first cryptographic hash for the digital asset and for first metadata related to the digital asset at the first time of asset capture; (iii) digitally sign the digital asset to generate a signed asset, (iv) submit, at the first time of asset capture, a first transaction to establish provenance of the captured digital asset based on the first cryptographic hash, (v) compute a second cryptographic hash for first metadata captured with the digital asset at the first time of asset capture, (vi) rehash the signed asset with the second cryptographic hash to generate a stored asset, and (vii) submit a second transaction including the second cryptographic hash, wherein a second transaction entry includes a registration of the second transaction;
an electronic registry configured to (i) receive the first transaction from the electronic processing device substantially at the first time of asset capture, (ii) register the first transaction on an immutable distributed digital ledger as a first transaction entry including the first cryptographic hash, and (iii) append the second transaction entry on the immutable distributed ledger;
an electronic network configured to receive, at a second time subsequent to the first time of asset capture, a combination of the signed asset and the first cryptographic hash from the electronic processing device and distribute the combined signed asset and first cryptographic hash to an electronic media viewer of the ecosystem as registered digital content; and
wherein the electronic media viewer is configured to (i) verify, with the electronic registry over the electronic network, the registered digital content as verified digital content, and (ii) enable viewing of the verified digital content,
wherein the electronic registry is further configured to, upon distribution of the combined signed asset and first cryptographic hash by the electronic network, append a third transaction entry to the immutable distributed ledger.
