METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONSENT TO TIME-BOUND QUERIES IN A BLOCKCHAIN

Abstract:

A method for providing consent for provisioning data in an opaque blockchain, includes: receiving, by a receiver of a processing server, a consent request for data associated with the processing server stored on a blockchain, the consent request including at least two digital signatures, where a first digital signature is generated by a regulating entity and a second digital signature is generated by a moderating entity in the blockchain network; validating, by a processing device of the processing server, the first digital signature and the second digital signature; digitally signing, by the processing device of the processing server, the received consent request using a private key of a first cryptographic key pair; and transmitting, by a transmitter of the processing server, the digitally signed consent request to the regulating entity.
