Boeing had four patents in blockchain during Q4 2023. The patent filed by The Boeing Co in Q4 2023 describes techniques for providing users with an anonymous user signature on a message in a distributed decentralized network. This involves using a hardware security module and a certificate authority to obtain a credential with a user certificate, public key, and attributes, and providing a signature on the message without revealing all user attributes through a zero-knowledge proof.

The patent filed by The Boeing Co. describes techniques for providing an anonymous user signature on a message in a distributed decentralized network using a hardware security module and a certificate authority. The certificate authority obtains a credential for the user, including a certificate with a user public key and user attributes, and provides a signature on the message without revealing all user attributes, using a zero-knowledge proof. The method involves generating cryptographic key pairs, accessing user secret keys, and ensuring compliance with presentation policies for attribute disclosure.
The patent also outlines a computer system for implementing these techniques, with an electronic storage and a certificate authority processor. The system performs operations such as obtaining user credentials, receiving signature requests, and providing zero-knowledge proofs to establish message signatures without revealing all user attributes. The system can be applied in blockchain networks, particularly for cryptocurrency transactions, and ensures secure storage of user secret keys in a hardware security module. Additionally, the system allows for the generation of credentials based on user secret keys and compliance with attribute disclosure policies for specific message types.
