If only I owned my data: Architecting decentralized data systems
Today, our personal and business data are not in our own hands. They’re trapped in silo-ed and proprietary centralized systems. Let’s explore an alternative architecture and ecosystem, where industry-wide decentralized data ownership is the prime directive.
To appreciate what this future entails, we tour related compositional elements of decentralized identity (user-controlled digital identity), privacy journeys (user-controlled data access), decentralized depositories (user-controlled data storage) and federated machine learning (distributed data analysis at system endpoints). Applied to real-world consumer applications, we examine tradeoffs of product resiliency, user privacy, data portability and durability.
We leave you with concrete (open source) tools and emerging standards that you can leverage today, as technology leaders in the industry.
