SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR VALIDATING BLOCKCHAIN OR DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TRANSACTIONS IN A SERVICE REQUIRING PAYMENT

摘要

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for validating blockchain or distributed ledger transactions in a service requiring payment. In use, a transaction submitted within a blockchain or distributed ledger is accessed, the transaction being submitted for provisioning a service that requires payment. Additionally, one or more assertions of device or user attributes that are verifiably associated with at least one party to the transaction are extracted from the transaction. Further, the transaction is validated, utilizing the device or user attributes, independently of processing the payment.
