Blockchain Node Weighted Voting via Cybersecurity State Assessment

The patent applies local quality by assigning different voting weights to different nodes based on their individual cybersecurity states. Instead of uniform treatment, each node's vote is weighted according to its specific security posture (secure, vulnerable, or compromised), allowing the system to differentiate between trustworthy and untrustworthy participants in the validation process

The system dynamically changes the voting weight parameter based on cybersecurity state assessments. Nodes transition between different voting weight levels (e.g., full weight, reduced weight, or zero weight) as their security status changes, allowing the validation mechanism to adapt to evolving threat conditions without fundamental structural changes

The system performs preliminary cybersecurity assessments of nodes before they participate in transaction validation. By evaluating nodes' security states in advance and assigning appropriate voting weights beforehand, the system prevents compromised nodes from gaining influence rather than reacting to attacks after they occur

The patent implements continuous feedback loops where cybersecurity monitoring systems regularly assess node states and update voting weights accordingly. This dynamic adjustment ensures that nodes that become compromised lose voting power, while nodes that maintain security postures retain or gain influence, creating a self-correcting validation mechanism
