SYSTEM FOR AUTHORIZING RESOURCE REQUESTS BASED ON CRYPTOGRAPHIC COMPUTATIONS AND FEDERATED HASH VERIFICATIONS

Abstract:

A system provides authorization of resource requests based on cryptographic computations and federated hash verifications. In particular, the system may receive requests for resources or processes from external devices. In response, the system may require that the external device complete additional authorization steps (e.g., a cryptographic computation) before being granted access to the resources or processes. The system may further federate the cryptographic computations across multiple external devices, thereby distributing the computing load that would otherwise be processed by internal systems. In this way, the system may prevent unauthorized or unintended access to the system's resources or processes.
