46 results about "Escrow" patented technology

Being in escrow is a contractual arrangement in which a third party (the stakeholder or escrow agent) receives and disburses money or property for the primary transacting parties, most generally, used with plentiful terms that conduct the rightful actions that follow. The disbursement is dependent on conditions agreed to by the transacting parties. Examples include an account established by a broker for holding funds on behalf of the broker's principal or some other person until the consummation or termination of a transaction; or, a trust account held in the borrower's name to pay obligations such as property taxes and insurance premiums. The word derives from the Old French word escroue, meaning a scrap of paper or a scroll of parchment; this indicated the deed that a third party held until a transaction was completed.

System and Method for Cross-Ecosystem Financial Reputation Scoring and Blockchain- Integrated Transactions

The present invention discloses a blockchain-integrated financial reputation scoring system designed to assess financial credibility within decentralized ecosystems. The system generates a dynamic accountability score based on blockchain transactions, including escrow payments, invoice completions, smart contract interactions, DeFi transactions, NFT trading, and cross-chain financial activities. A risk-adaptive score weighting system dynamically adjusts the impact of financial behaviors based on transaction risk, counterparty trustworthiness, and historical financial patterns. The score is leveraged for tiered access to financial products, lending, and collateral adjustments. AI-enhanced anomaly detection prevents fraudulent score inflation, while privacy-preserving verification ensures secure reputation authentication. The system further extends into insurance underwriting, compliance verification (AML / KYC), and financial access expansion, allowing traditional institutions to assess blockchain-based creditworthiness. Quantum-resistant cryptographic techniques secure reputation data, ensuring trust and adaptability in both decentralized and traditional financial ecosystems.

Method and system for adaptive quantum backend selection

An adaptive orchestration platform routes quantum-computing jobs to optimal backends in real time. A broker service ingests a quantum job description expressed in a provider-agnostic canonical schema, polls status metrics for multiple candidate processors, and derives composite scores using machine-learned, user-weighted factors. The highest-scoring backend is selected, and the job is automatically translated into its native instruction format. Payment is secured by a blockchain escrow smart contract that releases segmented disbursements upon queue confirmation, execution start and verified completion against service-level parameters. Results are hashed to an immutable ledger and failures trigger automated re-routing or refunds.

Blockchain escrow and auditing service

A request to authenticate to a Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) is received from a tenant (e.g., a user that is acting on behalf of a corporation). An authentication credential of the tenant associated with the request to authenticate to the BaaS is determined to be valid. In response to determining that the authentication credential of the tenant associated with the request to authenticate to the BaaS is valid, a level of access is granted to the BaaS. A request is received, from the tenant, to add a transaction block to a blockchain in the BaaS. The blockchain in the BaaS is interspersed with transaction blocks from a plurality of tenants of the BaaS. The transaction block is then added to the blockchain in the BaaS.

A blockchain-based distributed key escrow method

The application discloses a kind of distributed key escrow methods based on block chain, there are two kinds of committee identity nodes in the method: escrow node and election node. The secret is fragmented using improved Shamir secret sharing, and the fragmented fragments are escrowed on anonymous escrow nodes, which are dynamically elected by the election nodes. The election committee builds an anonymous communication channel to maintain the anonymous identity of the escrow committee. Every certain period of time, the smart contract triggers the re-election of the election nodes and the escrow nodes, dynamically changing the membership of the committee. The old escrow nodes transfer the fragmented shares to the new escrow nodes by halving the fragmented shares through anonymous communication, and the new escrow nodes restore the fragmented shares after receiving them, completing the regular dynamic update of the escrow nodes. The application ensures the security, anonymity and tamper resistance of node information, and decentralizes the management of keys, improving the security and reliability of secret escrow.

Transaction System and Method

The invention relates to systems and methods for executing a digital-asset transaction using a dual-tier messaging architecture. A central messaging server provides tamper detection and message-integrity verification while routing bilateral messages between transacting devices. A permissioned-blockchain channel manages a smart-contract escrow that holds digital assets in cold storage. A fiat-rail channel integrates a real-time payment protocol to obtain bank or rail confirmation that fiat funds are credited to a seller account. Upon receipt of settlement evidence and a validated session state, the escrow releases the digital asset from a seller cold-storage wallet to a buyer cold-storage wallet. Embodiments may capture a seller opt-in via a banking application, generate a dual-ledger audit trail across permissioned and public blockchains, and emit transaction identifiers for cross-system reconciliation. The approach improves compliance, reduces counterparty risk, and provides verifiable audit artifacts for regulated settlement of digital-asset transfers.

Secure Orchestrator for Modular Access (SOMA) for Risk-Conditioned Identity Recovery and Cryptographic Key Rotation

Systems and methods are disclosed for orchestrating sensitive identity actions, including recovery, re-keying, and credential rotation, using risk-conditioned control selection and enforceable authorization gates. A gateway obtains contextual signals, computes a risk output, and selects a discrete policy band specifying required step-up verifications, a quorum threshold t, and a cryptographic profile. When quorum authorization is required, an escrow instance is initiated that stores required step-ups and threshold t, custodians are assigned, and approvals are accepted only from assigned custodians and only upon verifiable step-up satisfaction. Upon quorum satisfaction, the system releases a release value, performs crypto-agile re-keying under classical, hybrid, or post-quantum profiles, and optionally executes a dependency-aware rotation plan with validation and rollback. The system generates decision receipts and audit events binding inputs, policy outputs, approvals, escrow transitions, and resulting actions, with optional integrity protections enabling independent verification and tamper detection.
