Automated data authentication and service authorization via cryptographic keys in a private blockchain

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for authenticating records belonging to an individual or entity and providing authorized access of the records to service providers. Embodiments of the invention utilize a private blockchain to store various types of records to be conveyed to the service providers. In this way, the individual or entity may securely store on the blockchain all records relevant to service providers, then provide the service providers with secured access to the records such that the providers may access only the specific records for which they are authorized, e.g. a healthcare provider may access only the healthcare records on the blockchain.
