Deb Nicholson is worried about the future of our data.They're being stockpiled by organizations whose ability to protect them is diminishing, but whose ability to keep users from accessing or transporting them is increasing. Bit by bit, these data are being centralized--gathered in large repositories outside users' control and sequestered there when competing products or services can't access or read them.

Due to the rapid development of 5G, Internet of things, AI and other technologies, the number of network devices has increased dramatically. A large number of intelligent devices are distributed in urban transportation, industrial parks,

One of the hardest hits to a stagnant financial sector was the one made by the blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is changing the way payments are processed on a larger scale. Although most payments are under the authority of centralized financial institutions, blockchain developers are working on creating dApps (decentralized apps) that enable cross-border payments in a straightforward way without unnecessary interference of big finance names. Thanks to the technology of smart contracts, worldwide industries can process payments via blockchain-powered financial applications.

Blockchain has become very popular and suitable to the Internet of Things (IoT) field due to its nontamperability and decentralization properties. The number of IoT devices and leaders (who own IoT devices) is increased exponentially, and thus, data privacy and security are undoubtedly significant concerns. In this paper, we summarize some issues for the BeeKeeper system, a blockchain-based IoT system, proposed by Zhou et al., and then aim for presenting an improved solution for decentralized data aggregation (DDA) on IoT. Firstly, we formally state the security requirements of DDA. Secondly, we propose our basic DDA system by using secret sharing to improve its efficiency and smart contracts as the computing processors. Moreover, the proposed full-fledged system achieves data sharing (e.g., a leader to access data of others’ devices), which is realized by using local differential privacy and cryptographic primitives such as token-based encryption. Finally, to show the feasibility, we provide some implementations and experiments for the DDA systems.

Decentralized knowledge is information that is shared and widely distributed, rather than owned by a single source. Learn about the numerous benefits that business’ can gain from this innovative concept.

Nearly two years ago, we published our first ebook, A Guide to Marketplaces. Towards the end, we touched briefly on emerging marketplace types and included decentralized marketplaces in the mix. At the time, OpenBazaar was still in beta. Since then, we’ve been closely following the evolution of blockchain technology and looking at the potential impact […]

Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID refers to any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) as determined by the controller of the DID. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. Specifically, while other parties might be used to help enable the discovery of information related to a DID, the design enables the controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission from any other party. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject.
