Abstract |
As users create and share their own content, the importance of data is increasing. However, there has been a situation in which users’ content is subordinated to major Internet service companies and users are unable to exercise sovereignty over their content. As concerns over this situation grow, data sovereignty is receiving high attention. In this paper, we propose a self-sovereign system in which users are guaranteed the right to store, register, and control the content they create. The proposed system utilizes the decentralized storage to store content independently on a specific service provider, and users directly control and manage their own content with the help of the blockchain technology. By using the proposed system, users are guaranteed to exercise their sovereignty over their own content. |
