Abstract
Securely sharing proof of knowledge of information without revealing the information, for example to allow an institution to prove it has knowledge regarding an alert. Code or software may be generated (at a first computer system) which takes as input one or more details regarding an entity and returns a value based on a match to one or more actual details regarding the entity. A name may be generated for the code based on information describing the entity, and the code may be published to a blockchain, along with at least one key corresponding to the code. For each name an entry may be creating in an index, converting the name to a blockchain address. A proof based on the code may be generated at a second computer system, which, if verified, results in the first institution and the second institution sharing information regarding the entity.
