Hierarchical meta-ledger transaction recording

Abstract:

An original transaction data store may provide information about a series of transactions over time. A transaction data collection platform may group some of those transactions into a subset of transactions and apply a hash function to that subset to create a signature representing verifiable state information associated with an enterprise. The transaction data collection platform may then record information about the signature via a secure, distributed transaction meta-ledger without recording the subset of transactions. According to some embodiments, a transaction audit platform may retrieve the signature from the meta-ledger and retrieve original information associated with the subset of transactions (e.g., from an offline original transaction data store). The transaction audit platform may then apply the hash function to the original information to re-create an original signature, compare the retrieved signature with the original signature, and output an indication of a verification result of the comparison.
