Protecting Private Data Using Digital Rights Management
Abstract:
Changes in European legislation are forcing web-application providers to take greater responsibility with regard to keeping their users’ personal information private. One architectural solution that allows users of the system to stay in full control of their own personal information is a decentralised data model. This paper proposes a decentralised architectural model called DEPRIM, which makes use of Digital Rights Management (DRM) to enforce access control over personal information. The DEPRIM architecture allows users to stay in control of their data and controls the access of application providers.
