Data replication and access in subnetworks

The patent US12015666B2 describes a device designed for use within a subnetwork, featuring memory circuitry and one or more processors. The device is configured to obtain a specific portion of a data set from a central repository, which is dynamically assigned to the subnetwork. This data set includes attributes and potentially public keys associated with nodes in the subnetwork. The device replicates this data in a local repository and is capable of determining the availability of the central repository based on predefined network policies. If the central repository is deemed unavailable, the device intercepts data requests from nodes within the subnetwork, preventing these requests from reaching the central repository and instead accessing the requested data from its local repository.

Additionally, the device can provide updates to the data set from the central repository and generate digital signatures based on the requested data using a private key associated with the central repository. The claims also specify that the device may function as a gateway and can generate new data based on the obtained data set. The method outlined in the patent mirrors the device's functionality, detailing the steps for obtaining, replicating, and providing data while ensuring that requests are managed effectively in the event of central repository unavailability. This innovation aims to enhance data accessibility and reliability within subnetworks, particularly in scenarios where central repository access may be compromised.
