Abstract
Exemplary embodiments are directed to a blockchain-based communication system. The system includes a public blockchain, a private blockchain and a processing device in communication with the public and private blockchains. The public blockchain includes a database configured to electronically store registration data associated with an originator and at least one recipient. The private blockchain is configured to allow for transmission of data between the originator and the at least one recipient. The processing device is configured to receive a request from the originator to compose a message to be transmitted from the originator to the least one recipient, receive as input and associate at least one digital rights management (DRM) parameter with content of the message, and generate a micro-blockchain within the private blockchain having an originator node associated with the originator and a recipient node associated with the at least one recipient.
