Design and development of a blockchain-based consent management system

Abstract

Data management is defined as obtaining, processing, safeguarding, and storing information about an organization to aid in making better business decisions for the firm. With the proliferation of smart devices, the amount of data available to enterprises has expanded tremendously. They often share the information gathered across organizations without the consent of the individuals who provided the information. As a result, we must protect the information from unauthorized access or exploitation. As a result, companies must ensure that their systems are transparent to build user confidence. To accomplish this, we are confident that Blockchain properties will accommodate, as transactions recorded on the network cannot be modified and are accessible to everyone on the network. This thesis introduces the architectural design of a blockchain system for controlled private data management, discusses the prototype implementation using Hyperledger Fabric, and presents evaluation results of the proposed system using Hyperledger Caliper.
