Abstract
We introduce oblivious management, an approach to records management wherein digital assets retain their own state and rely upon a ledger maintained by an integrity provider only for verification of state changes. Oblivious management enables the direct possession and control of digital assets by their owners, while avoiding the requirement to expose asset data to third parties or to involve system operators in decision-making. As a result, digital assets can be safely transacted without the involvement of their creators or a centralised state database. We also show how oblivious management is compatible with Chaum tokens and how distributed ledgers can be used to protect against failure, blackmail, or malfeasance on the part of integrity providers.
