Blockchain Document Authentication via Hyperledger Segmentation

The patent replaces the manual mechanical verification process with an automated digital system. The verification authority no longer needs to physically compare documents manually; instead, the system automatically retrieves encrypted documents from the digital platform, decrypts them, and compares them with original documents using computational algorithms, thereby eliminating time-consuming manual operations while maintaining authentication accuracy

The system enables self-service authentication where the verification process is automated without requiring continuous human intervention. The digital platform automatically stores, retrieves, and decrypts documents upon request, and the verification system autonomously compares documents and determines authenticity, making the process scalable and efficient

The patent segments the centralized document storage system into a distributed network of nodes. Instead of storing all documents in a single centralized location vulnerable to tampering, the encrypted documents are distributed across multiple nodes in the network. Each node holds a portion of the data, and no single point of failure exists, thereby improving security while maintaining verification efficiency through the distributed architecture

The system implements beforehand cushioning by encrypting documents before storage and using hash functions to create immutable records. This preparatory security measure ensures that even if the system is compromised, the encrypted nature of the data and the cryptographic hash chains prevent tampering, providing a cushion against potential attacks and data loss
