This application claims priority of Chinese Invention Patent Application No. 201810339305.3 filed Apr. 16, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to the field of distributed technology, in particular to the field of blockchain technology, specifically, it refers to a mapping system and corresponding method to realize digital assets on the mapping chain based on distributed technology.
Blockchain is essentially a decentralized database, it's like a shared ledger, records the transaction information of all encrypted digital assets, as the underlying technology of Bitcoin, blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, openness, anonymity and non-tamperability.
The control right of encrypted digital assets is embodied in the control right of private key. Take Bitcoin as an example, the essence of private key is a random number, the private key algorithm of Bitcoin generates 256-bit random number by running SHA256 hash algorithm for random number. Add the version number in front, add compression mark and additional check code in the back (after two SHA-256 operations, take the first four bytes of the hash result twice), and then encode it with Base58, can get the private key in WIF (Wallet import Format) format. Public key is generates through secp256k1 elliptic curve algorithm, Bitcoin address is generates by the public key through hash function (RPIEMD+SHA).
At present, regardless of whether the encrypted digital assets in the hands of individuals or exchange, its private key are completely stored in a decentralized single point. This single point may be the user himself, or it may be a third party that provides a wallet or a decentralized exchange, etc. Therefore, various security issues such as the leakage, theft of private keys and malicious intrusion by third party frequently occur in the field of encrypted digital assets, particularly the encrypted digital asset exchanges have repeatedly occurred serious digital asset thefts event, causing huge losses in users' digital assets.

Preferably, the public chain in the process of locking in and locking out of the prevent invention just meets the requirement that its address is the controlled by private key, all can use the mapping system to realize digital assets on the mapping chain based on distributed technology of the prevent invention to do further operation, preferably, digital asset mapping can be performed.
In a specific embodiment, in the mapping system to realize digital assets on the public block chain based on distributed technology of the prevent invention, two steps of locking in (lock in) and locking out (lock out) will be carried out, when performing lock in, how to ensure that the private key is effectively generated, custody and used is not leaked, which is a key issue for safely and reliably to realize performing lock in of digital assets. If the private key is completely stored in one place, it will be leaked due to node attract or malicious node collection. Therefore in order to ensure the security of the private key, choose to shrading the private key and hand it over to different node to custody (
The key point of the technical solution proposed by the prevent invention are as follows:
(1) Distributed Generation of Private Key
Distributed generation of private key, it is done in by distribute development of multiple nodes in the mapping chain, each node just generates and save a part of the private key, and there is no transmission and assembly of private key sharding between each other. In this process, the number of sharding is determined according to the algorithm of key sharding, and a virtual node group is formed according to this number to generate the private key. In order to ensure that the key of decentralized custodial are always available, the algorithm for generating the number of nodes in the node group will ensure that the probability that enough nodes are not online at the same time is within a very small range. The shards are independently and randomly generate by the nodes in the group according to the determined shards length and finally form the value of shards according to the established consensus mechanism.
(2) Transaction Signature During Locking Out
When a transaction that requires signature verification is broadcast, the node can verify it according to its own saved private key sharding. After the verification is successful, the node signatures the verification result and broadcasts it. In this process, the transmission content is irreversible, therefore, the key or private key sharding cannot be deduced from any content broadcast.
(3) Signature Confirmation
When the node completes the private key sharding verification, it collects the results of each node's signature through broadcasting, when the number of signatures of a transaction reaches the threshold, the transaction is considered effective.
In a specific embodiment, take Bitcoin (equivalent to the public chain in the present invention) and Fusion chain (equivalent to the mapping chain in the present invention, and its nature is also a public chain) as examples to introduce the process of mapping Bitcoin to the Fusion chain:
when user A initiates a lock in of 10 Bitcoins (BCT). The user will use the wallet as an interactive interface. This wallet has many functions of current multi-currency wallet, but at same time it also has the function of lock in and managing different digital assets. In addition, the wallet will also have various financial services developed by third party on the public chain, that users can conveniently participate after completing the lock in.
Among them, the realization process of locking in (lock in) as follows:
the user's experience of initiating a lock in request to the wallet is similar in operation to the experience of existing wallet transfers. The specific implementation steps are follows:
(1) Initiate a Lock in Request
User A initiate lock in request for 10 BTC to the Fusion chain by calling the program interface of locking in in the wallet.
(2) Distributed Private Key Generation
The request operation triggers the smart contract of locking in (lock in) on the Fusion chain, and the smart contract organizes the initialization of the private key. So-called initialization of the private key is to generate the private key sharding in a distributed manner and complete the decentralized custodial of the each private key sharding.
(3) Transfer the Control Right to Distributed Management
The initialization is completed and generate a lock in address, the lock in address is an address on the Bitcoin chain, and user A initiates a transfer to the address. The user initiates the transfer operation and broadcasts this lock in on Fusion chain through interface, and the node on Fusion chain to checks the completion of the transfer.
When the node on the Fusion chain receives the transaction broadcast, it querying whether the transaction is confirmed on the Bitcoin chain through third party interface. By consensus result shows that these 10 BTC are successfully transferred to the address of generated by lock in, which is regarded as a successful transfer of distributed control right management.
(4) Digital Assent Mapping
Confirm the successful transfer of the control right, and then the smart contract completes the status update of user A's account on the Fusion chain. The lock in record is packaged and recorded by the node into a block on the Fusion chain. So far, user A's 10 BTC lock in request is completed.
Similarly, the user's request of lock out is also initiate by calling the relevant program interface in the wallet. The user experience is similar to use wallet for external transfers. The implementation process of locking out is as follows:
(1) Initiate a Lock Out Request
User A operates in the wallet to initiate a transfer transaction of 10 BTC to an out-of-chain Bitcoin address, which is regarded as the user initiates a lock out request.
(2) Check, Lock in and Generate Transactions
The transaction triggers a lock out smart contract on the Fusion chain, the contract will first check the user A's asset status on the Fusion chain, when the transfer condition are met, lock in the status of 10 Bitcoins of user A in the Fusion chain account, and generate a transfer transaction with the target address and user's signature.
(3) Threshold Signature
The node on the Fusion chain receives the transaction instruction, to begin calculation and comparison based on the private key sharding of their respective stored, and the successful nodes will signature the result and broadcast it. Each node collects the signatures at same time, when the transaction signature reaches the requirement of t/m, (t≤m) threshold, generally t/m is ⅔, the transaction is sent to the Bitcoin main chain by the node, and realize the transaction of transferring 10 BTC to the address specified by user A.
(4) Release Distributed Control Right Management
The nodes on the Fusion chain will check whether the transaction is confirmed on the Bitcoin main chain through the Bitcoin corresponding interface. When the consensus has reached the result of the transaction confirmation, the user A's 10 BTC will released from the distributed control right management.
(5) Release and Destroy Digital Assets
The smart contract synchronously updates the status of user's account on Fusion, and completes the release and destroy of the mapping by deducting the 10 locked in BTC mapping. At the same time, the lock out record is packaged and recorded into a block on the Fusion.
So far, the user's lock out request is completed.
Finally, when distributed control right transfer is completed, and then the state update of main chain account balance can reflect the completion of locking in (lock in) or locking out (lock out). The process of the accounting, the main chain actually issues or recovers the tokens used for accounting of the same amount of digital assets to the user account, thus completing the mapping of digital assets to the main chain or release mapping from it.
Using the mapping system and corresponding method to realize different digital assets on public blockchain based on distribute technology in the present invention, the mapping methods that supports different digital assets enables different currencies to be mapped to a mapping chain in a more innovative way, and no need to make any changes to any public chain, thus these tokens can realize multi-currency smart contact on the same chain, greatly improve the interoperability of the Internet of Value, and become the infrastructure of crypto finance. At the same time, the process of mapping is to securely control the private keys of tokens on various blockchains in a distributed manner, so as to establish a distributed blockchain that manages the control right of tokens. It is like the “highway” on the Internet of Value, which can easily realize value transfer between various tokens and multi-currency smart contracts for crypto finance services.
