Abstract

Over the last few years, a number of serious data breaches have intensively occurred that have raised a significant public awareness on data privacy whilst motivated researchers to envisage novel data sharing and management schemes. Meanwhile, personal information is becoming a valuable commodity; however, the business model used by service providers rarely involves sharing the revenue made by selling personal data, with the individuals - the owners of the data. This paper proposes an alternative storage and data sharing method leveraging Blockchain technology, Smart Contracts, and Attributed-based Encryption. Blockchain’s core features such as transparency and immutability of transactions is utilised to create a decentralised system that allows individuals to maintain control over their data and directly benefit from it. Smart contracts integrated with Attributed-based encryption schemes can be leveraged to allow users to securely share the data in an automate process, enabling them to receive a fair share of revenue for the use of their data by the service providers.
