Abstract:
A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product provides security in a communication network between a user device and a computer related device, and receives payment for services offered through a distributed registry associated with the communication network. One or more processors provide a distributed registry that specifies a plurality of services available to support communications between a user device and a computer related device on a communication network. The processor(s) dynamically construct one or more multi-node transient processing pathways between the user device and the computer related device based on the services. The processor(s) present the plurality of services specified by the distributed registry to the user device, and append metadata describing a current cryptocurrency cost of the services. The processor(s) then charge the current cryptocurrency cost to a cryptocurrency account associated with the user device and provide the particular service to the user device.
