Privacy-First Paradigm for Dynamic Consent Management Systems: Empowering Data Subjects through Decentralized Data Controllers and Privacy-Preserving Techniques

12 Dec 2023  |  www.mdpi.com  |  English  |  General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

This paper presents a model for dynamic consent management systems (DCMS) that emphasizes privacy-first approaches by utilizing blockchain technology to decentralize data controllers and incorporating privacy-preserving techniques. The model aims to empower data subjects by enhancing the security and privacy of their data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe. The proposed system uses permissioned blockchain platforms like Hyperledger Fabric to ensure data integrity and employs techniques such as secure multi-party computation, differential privacy, and homomorphic encryption to maintain data confidentiality. The paper also discusses the application of these technologies in the healthcare sector for managing patient data and sharing with researchers, providing guidelines for implementing security and privacy by design in DCMS.
