Secret key consensus for encrypted blueprint management
Summary
The USPTO published patent application US20260095314A1, filed September 30, 2024 by inventors Maxim Balin and Shree Rathinasamy. The application discloses methods and systems for managing deployment operations by securing blueprints using secret key consensus among stakeholder devices, where edge management systems coordinate secret key shares to decrypt and deploy blueprints to data processing systems.
What changed
This document is the publication of a patent application, not a regulatory document imposing compliance obligations. The invention describes a method where stakeholder devices send shares of a secret key to an edge management system, which collects a sufficient quantity of shares to reconstruct the key and decrypt an encrypted blueprint for deployment. The method involves cryptographic operations using secret sharing schemes (H04L 9/0861, H04L 9/085).
No compliance actions are required. Patent applications do not create regulatory obligations, penalties, or reporting requirements. Entities reviewing this publication for informational purposes may note the cryptographic methods disclosed for potential licensing consideration or prior art review.

DISTRIBUTED MANAGEMENT OF BLUEPRINTS

Abstract
Methods and systems for managing operation of a deployment are disclosed. The operation may be managed by securing a blueprint using a consensus from stakeholder devices. The consensus may be obtained by sending, by the stakeholder devices, shares of a secret key to an edge management system. The secret key may be used to decrypt an encrypted copy of the blueprint. A sufficient quantity of the shares may be a minimum number of the shares to generate the secret key. Once the secret key is generated, the encrypted copy of the blueprint may be decrypted to generate the blueprint. The blueprint may then be deployed to a data processing system of the deployment.
