Cisco is developing a secret group communication method based on Blockchain technology. A worldwide leader in IT and networking, Cisco is developing a secret group communication method based on Blockchain technology, according to a patent application published by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Cisco is the most widely used in corporate networks. network technologies company that produces network devices
Cisco, network technologies company that produces the most used active and passive network devices in world-renowned internet infrastructure and corporate networks. The company was founded in 1984 at Stanford University by Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner. The name of the company comes from the last two syllables of the city of San Francisco.
Cisco plans to provide confidential and secure group messaging with Blockchain technology
In practice, the company has decided that Blockchain’s more private and secure group messaging, file sharing. and that he can monitor his membership history. The technology in the patent aims to address common challenges faced by ad hoc messaging groups.. The patent application includes the following information on the subject:
How to set up, forward, update and protect group membership from unauthorized interference, it is common that there is no structure that can be effective in the context of a dynamic, decentralized and self-organizing group. are problems. This method allows ad hoc and decentralized group definition, dynamic and decentralized membership updates, open sharing, hack resistance, and tracking of membership history.
The method allows establishing a secure network using cryptographic keys. recommends
The method suggests establishing a secure network using cryptographic keys. Based on the decentralized network mentioned above, only authorized participants will be allowed to join a group chat.
This method provides end-to-end encryption of instant messaging, content sharing, and streaming media
By the first participant ” The genesis block (initial block) is created, which is “Identifies the first group of group members”. All actions of the chat, including adding and deleting members to the chat, are recorded in subsequent blocks. Other possible applications of this technology suggest not only text messaging but also file sharing and even streaming media. The patent application contains the following information on the subject:
The group membership updates presented here represent a hack-resistant chronological account and provides a method to achieve authorization in secret group communication in terms of a series of data blocks.. These techniques have many applications.. Provides end-to-end encryption of instant messaging, content sharing and streaming media. This is useful in developing a protocol or application designed to enable confidential group communication.
The method is a continuation of Cisco’s implementation of Blockchain for tracking Internet of Things (IoT) devices
The document, published in December 2017. The publication of a patent application may grant the applicant certain temporary rights to the technology. If a patent is granted, the applicant may receive a reasonable copyright for the infringing activity from the date of publication of the patent application until the date of publication of the patent.
