Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A system for data protection, the system comprising:
at least one distributed trust computing network comprising a plurality of decentralized nodes, each decentralized node having a first memory and at least one first processor in communication with the memory, wherein the first memory of the decentralized nodes is configured to store at least one distributed ledger; and
a computing platform disposed in a distributed computing network and including a second memory and at least one second processor in communication with the second memory, wherein the second memory stores instructions that are executable by the second processor and configured to:
receive a plurality of keys configured for generating a universal tag that is linked to a data file associated with a user, wherein the plurality of keys comprises at least a first key comprising a randomized digital representation of at least a portion of the data file, a second key comprising data associated with at least one selected from the group of (i) the user, and (ii) an origin of the data file, and a third key comprising a randomized value;
apply the plurality of keys to a hash algorithm to generate the universal tag; and
register the universal tag within a block of at least one distributed ledger stored or accessible to one or more of the at least one distributed trust computing networks,

wherein the registering of the universal tag within a block of at least one of the distributed ledgers provides information for validating (i) an authenticity of the data file, and/or (ii) the user associated with the data file.
