Abstract
A decentralized data authentication system integrates blockchain technologies, independent verification software, a decentralized certificate authority system implemented in the cloud, and a centralized redundant database system that together form data portability systems and data longevity systems that enable the creation of integrated lifetime health records that can be accessed by the patient, provider, and payer using public/private keys. Data portability is provided through creation of a decentralized certificate authority system that allows users to sign and later verify data that has been offline. The decentralized certificate authority system also enables tracking of data and timestamping of data via a neutral timestamping mechanism, such as the blockchain, that cannot be altered.
