FEDERATED EDGE-NODE AUTHORIZATION SYSTEM

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods for a federated edge-node computing system are provided. The federated system may allow customers to work in offline mode (e.g., during a disaster). Local data stored on edge-nodes may be used to process offline transactions. Offline transactions may include money transfers and merchant payments using mobile wallets. A plurality of nodes may form a consortium. The consortium may be formed based on geographic proximity of nodes. Member of the consortium may locally store geographically relevant data for authorizing offline transactions.
