Framework for Data Trust using Block-Chain Technology and Adaptive Transaction Validation

Abstract

Trust is the main barrier preventing widespread data sharing. The lack of transparent infrastructures for implementing data trust prevents many data owners from sharing their data and concerns data users regarding the quality of the shared data. Blockchain technology proposes a distributed and transparent administration by employing multiple parties to maintain consensus on an immutable ledger. This project presents an end-to-end framework for data trust to enhance trustworthy data sharing utilizing blockchain technology. We also suggest an adaptive solution to determine the number of transaction validators based on the computed trust value.
