Policy-Based Control and Augmentation of Cryptocurrencies and Cryptocurrency Security

摘要

A system for policy-based control and augmentation of cryptocurrency security including policy rules that govern transactions that are embedded in the cryptocurrency transmission. The transactions are then adjudicated using the policy-based control system at the endpoint. The invention first secures the private key to the cryptocurrency in a secure hardware module to ensure that ownership is maintained. Then, the system uses a policy-based control subsystem to embed policy information within the cryptocurrency transmission. On receipt, the transmission is decoupled such that the policy information can be implemented resulting in a decision to approve or disapprove the transaction. The system can be used for multiple signatories on a single transaction as well as any other policy requirement desired.
