Encrypted Blockchain Object Transfers Using Smart Contracts
Publication number: 20200177579
Abstract: Encrypted blockchain object transfers using smart contracts are provided herein. The present disclosure includes mechanisms for generating compliance certificates and their combined use with smart contracts in order to govern the transfer of ownership rights in objects between parties. Various data are encrypted and stored in a public ledger blockchain. Decryption keys are automatically released based on verified possession of compliance certificates in accordance with a smart contract. Possession of decryption keys allows for decryption and transfer of ownership rights.

Multi-Variable Assessment Systems and Methods that Evaluate and Predict Entrepreneurial Behavior
Publication number: 20190066020
Abstract: Machine learning and adaptive multi-variable assessment systems and methods are provided herein. Methods include obtaining independent variables of entrepreneur data across a plurality of network modalities, performing, by the server, a dynamic measurement of the independent variables against one or more dependent variables to predict performance of the entrepreneur, engaging in a business opportunity with the entrepreneur based on the dynamic measurement, collecting additional entrepreneur data during the business opportunity and recalculating the dynamic measurement as the additional entrepreneur data is received.

Secure communications methods for use with entrepreneurial prediction systems and methods
Patent number: 10122711
Abstract: Secure communications methods for use with entrepreneurial prediction systems and methods are provided herein. An example method can include a two factor authentication of both a communications channel used by the entrepreneur (either by device or message attributes) and an identification of an identity of the entrepreneur from biometric parameters. This allows for secure communication with an entrepreneur when the entrepreneur is communicating from a geographical location of low trust, such as where device or identity theft is common.
