CSE - Decentralized Data Sharing Infrastructure

Nowadays, data centers hold the ownership of consumers' data, and data owners often do not have control over their data once data is released. One of the research areas of ND-DSP is decentralized systems. We study how to enable free yet secure and accountable data sharing while data owners hold the ultimate ownership.

We have sponsored research projects with which we aim to build a decentralized data sharing infrastructure with security and accountability. Our goal is to build a community of users, developers, and researchers who will jointly use, develop, and improve the decentralized infrastructure together. Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), access control, zero-knowledge proof, etc. are studied to achieve this goal.
