Systems And Methods For Privacy In Distributed Ledger Transactions
Systems and methods for privacy in distributed ledger transactions are disclosed. In one embodiment, in an information processing apparatus comprising at least one computer processor for a first node in a computer network comprising a plurality of nodes, a method for generating a key directory in a network comprising a plurality of nodes may include: (1) advertising a public key for a first node to the other nodes; (2) receiving public key information from each of the plurality of nodes; and (3) generating a public key directory that associates each node in the computer network with its public key.
Claim CLM-00001. 1. A method for generating a key directory in a network comprising a plurality of nodes, comprising:
in an information processing apparatus comprising at least one computer processor for a first node in a computer network comprising a plurality of nodes:
advertising a public key for a first node to the other nodes;receiving public key information from each of the plurality of nodes; andgenerating a public key directory that associates each node in the computer network with its public key.
Claim CLM-00009. 9. A system for generating a key directory in a network comprising a plurality of nodes, comprising:
a computer network comprising a plurality of nodes, each node associated with a public key and a private key; wherein:
a computer processor for a first node of the plurality of nodes advertises a first node public key to the other nodes;the computer processor for the first node receives public key information from each of the plurality of nodes; andthe computer processor for the first node generates a public key directory that associates each node in the computer network with its public key.
