Abstract

The General Law for the Protection of Personal Data (LGPD) determines respect for privacy as fundamental to the protection of proprietary data in Brazil, ensuring citizens’ power to control over their own data. However, current data sharing and trading systems delegate trust to centralized services, restricting this control. This project proposed a secure, agile, and effective system for automated, distributed, and transparent data trading across multiple administrative domains using blockchain, smart contracts, reputation, and trust. The proposed system uses blockchain technology to ensure secure and distributed storage of user access-permissions, returning control over the data itself to the owner. A prototype of the proposed system was developed using the open-source Hyperledger Fabric platform for implementing smart contracts and a blockchain network. Performance evaluation results show that the proposed system provides security and privacy in cross-domain data trading in a distributed, agile and effective manner, simultaneously serving more than 200 requests per second and effectively punishing malicious behavior.
