Abstract
The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that dynamically manage exchanges of data using a cryptographically secure distributed ledger and homomorphic commitments. For example, and in response to an occurrence of a triggering event, an apparatus may obtain parameter values that characterize the data exchange, first commitment values representative of the parameter values, and a first digital signature. In response to a verification of the first digital signature, the apparatus may apply a second digital signature to commitment data that includes the first commitment values and a second commitment value representative of the first digital signature. The apparatus may transmit a signal that includes the commitment data and the second digital signature to a computing system, which generates an element of distributed ledger that includes the commitment data and the second digital signature in response to a verification of the second digital signature.
