Paper Abstract:
|
The risk of privacy intrusion is a developing concern due to the advancement in data mining techniques and the increased value of data. This study focuses on developing a system that implements blockchain technology to allow the exchange of personal data while ensuring the authenticity and privacy of the exchanged data are preserved. The privacy of data is ensured using encryption while the authenticity is intuitively built into blockchain technology with the consensus algorithm and cryptographic signatures. The blockchain interaction was enhanced by developing a companion application that simplifies exchanging data over the blockchain using QR codes. The expectation is to create awareness of the potential for using blockchain technology for secure-, private-, but verifiable data exchange, the possible implementations for future systems, and to reduce negative sentiments in regards to data sharing. |
