Balancing Data Circulation and Privacy Protection:Operation Mechanism of Third-Party Data Trusts
As the contradiction between data circulation and privacy protection is increasingly evident,third-party data trusts have become a solution,the operating mechanism of which remains to be revealed by in-depth research.This study employed the method of separate storage of data in the architecture of cloud stor-age,and designed the framework,process,and revenue distribution of a third-party data trust operation mechanism.Firstly,user data are classified into two categories:active data involving sensitive information and accompanying data without sensitive information.The former is stored in third-party data trusts,while the lat-ter is stored in enterprises.Data circulation and revenue distribution are achieved through the stages of data storage,retrieval,and securitization.With the separate storage method,data is controlled by stakeholders of the two categories of data,which increases the difficulty of de-anonymization and weakens the power of third-party data trusts,thus facilitating the data circulation.
