Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing certificates of authenticity of digital twins transacted onto a blockchain using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in conjunction with a cloud based computing environment are described herein. For example, according to one embodiment there is a system which includes means for operating a first blockchain interface to a private blockchain on behalf of a product manufacturer, in which the product manufacturer has access permissions to the private blockchain; means for operating a second blockchain interface to a public blockchain on behalf of a plurality of tenants of the host organization including the product manufacturer; means for providing a plurality of templates for certificates of authenticity to the plurality of tenants; means for generating a digital twin for a finished goods product by the product manufacturer, the digital twin having embedded therein a new certificate of authenticity generated using one of the plurality of templates, the new certificate of authenticity uniquely identifying the finished goods product by a product identifier specified with the new certificate of authenticity; means for transacting the digital twin onto the private blockchain; means for transferring ownership of the digital twin from the product manufacturer to a purchaser; and means for writing a unique ID identifying the digital twin on the public blockchain into the asset on the private blockchain within which the digital twin is stored. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for a multi-tenant server to manage data in a peer-to-peer blockchain network is described. The method includes monitoring one or more fields of a first physical object of a first tenant in the peer-to-peer blockchain network to determine when one or more conditions of a smart contract have been fulfilled; determining that one or more conditions of the smart contract have been met by the first physical object of the first tenant; and performing one or more operations of the smart contract, which are associated with the one or more conditions, in response to determining that the one or more conditions of the smart contract have been met by the first physical object of the first tenant, wherein the one or more operations are performed in relation to a second physical object of a second tenant in the peer-to-peer blockchain network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting a data model abstraction framework are described. Some platforms (e.g., a multi-tenant cloud computing platform) may manage data across a number of persistent systems (e.g., cloud platforms, data stores, packages, etc.). To efficiently manage data across such systems, a platform may implement a metadata-driven abstraction layer. The abstraction layer may support a number of interface objects and interface fields, which may operate as abstracted versions of persistent objects and persistent fields. External entities (e.g., users, triggers, customizations, packages, plugins, or any other entities) may interact with the interface objects, and the abstraction layer may automatically handle mappings from the interface objects to the persistent systems. By using the metadata-driven abstraction layer, the platform may resolve conflicts between the external entities and multiple underlying persistent systems. Additionally, the abstraction layer may dynamically adjust mappings to handle migrations or other updates across the persistent systems.

Abstract: A method for managing data by a multi-tenant server in a distributed network is described. The multi-tenant server manages a multi-tenant environment for a set of tenant systems and peers in the distributed network, which include the set of tenant systems and a set of non-tenant systems. The method includes receiving a tenant transaction request to modify an object in the distributed network, wherein the tenant transaction request is received from a tenant system in the set of tenant systems based on a non-tenant transaction request from a non-tenant system from the set of non-tenant systems; generating, on behalf of the tenant system and the non-tenant system, a transaction object based on an exchange object and the tenant transaction request; and making, on behalf of the tenant system, the transaction object available to the sets of tenant non-tenant systems to attempt to obtain consensus for modifying the object.

Abstract: A method for a multi-tenant server to manage data in a blockchain network is described. The method includes generating an exchange object for the network, wherein the exchange object includes a set of exchange fields and a mapping between each exchange field in the set of exchange fields and a field of an object associated with each peer in the network; determining permissions for each exchange field and for each peer in the network; generating, on behalf of a first peer in the network, a transaction object using the exchange object, wherein the transaction object includes a set of field values for the set of exchange fields and one or more field values in the set of values are encrypted based on the permissions; and making the transaction object available to a second peer in the network to attempt to obtain consensus for altering an object of the first peer.
