Attributed network enabled by search and retreival of privity data from a registry and packaging of the privity data into a digital registration certificate for attributing the data of the attributed network

Abstract

Methods and systems generate an attributed network for tracing transmitted data that is attributable to a user. A digital registration certificate includes an identity marker and a verified privity marker. The digital registration certificate is registered with an immutable entry in a registry, with the immutable entry also storing the identity marker and referencing the verified privity marker, and with retrieval of the digital registration certificate being required to access the attributed network. A client device requests to access the attributed network, and the systems and methods authenticate a user of the client device by verifying biometric login data as matching the identity marker included in the immutable entry in the registry. The digital registration certificate is obtained from the registry. A virtual browser configured for accessing the attributed network packages the digital registration certificate with data specified by the client device.

 verifying, in response to receiving data from one or more devices via the attributed network, a digital registration certificate associated with the data;   in response to a failed verification of the digital registration certificate associated with the data, preventing the data from being accessed by one or more systems of the client device;   in response to a successful verification of the digital registration certificate associated with the data, allowing the data to be accessed by the one or more systems of the client device.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, from the client device, a request to access the attributed network, the request comprising system image data representing a status of the client device;   authenticating the client device by verifying the system image data as matching a verified system image included in an immutable entry in the registry;   responsive to authenticating the client device and the user, obtaining the digital registration certificate from the registry.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the verified system image data includes data indicative of one or both of a pre-approved software configuration of the client device or a hardware configuration of the client device. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 responsive to a failed authentication of the client device, causing the client device to revert to a pre-approved software configuration.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the virtual browser is configured to package the digital registration certificate with data specified by a client device of the user at an application layer of a network protocol for transmission over the attributed network. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the generated immutable entry storing the digital registration certificate comprises a block chain entry. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the generated immutable entry storing the digital registration certificate comprises a timestamp and a cryptographic hash. 
     
     
         11 .
