Recently, IBM is adding two blockchain patents for security and database management, the United States Patent and Trademark Office revealed, according to the publishing documents on March 5.

The two patents focus on strengthening the security of the network using blockchain technology and managing database using the tech effectively.

“Securing a data log using monitor security protocols may be accomplished with different levels of security, ranging from low security to high security, and have various combinations of hardware and software configurations,” the description of the first patent claimed.

For the second patent, IBM aims to apply streamlining blockchain solution to database management systems (DBMSs) which are currently inefficient due to their bulk.

“DBMSs often require tremendous resources to handle the heavy workloads placed on such systems. As such, it may be useful to manage a DBMS using a blockchain database.”

IBM has actively been in the blockchain market in the past few years. Recently, the company launched a new security testing service that helps to identify the strengths and vulnerabilities in a blockchain system, reported by The Crypto Sight on March 3.
