Authentication and Approval Control System for Distributed Ledger Platform

Abstract:

Systems for controlling access to and modification of a distributed ledger are provided. A system may receive a request to modify a distributed ledger and may transmit a request for availability data to computing devices associated with a plurality of modification approval users. Availability response data may be received from one or more of the computing devices and may be analyzed to determine whether a number of available computing devices is at or above a threshold. If so, approval from a first percentage of modification approval users may be required to approve the modification. If not, approval from a second, different percentage of modification approval users may be required to approve the modification. Further, in response to receiving a request for modification of a distributed ledger, one or more modification authentication approval devices may be identified and executed. Authentication/approval response data may be received and analyzed to determine whether the requirements for the identified modification authentication approval device are met. If so, the modification may be approved. If not, the request to modify may be denied.
