egenDATA - Decentralized Self-Sovereign Data Protocol

egenDATA is an interactive demonstration of a cryptographic protocol for self-sovereign data management. It enables communication-less access control over encrypted information stored on decentralized networks using the keystone pattern.

🔗 Project Resources

• Live Demo: https://lovable.dev/projects/ba6e6cbe-cbc2-4e2a-8d04-d81bc1fc742e
• Source Code: https://github.com/Iteam1337/egendata
• Protocol Documentation: See /rfc route in the app

🎯 What is egenDATA?

egenDATA demonstrates a novel approach to data ownership where:

• Data owners can encrypt data once and share it with multiple recipients
• Access can be granted or revoked instantly without communicating with recipients
• All data is stored on decentralized IPFS storage
• Recipients maintain their own cryptographic keys
• No central authority controls access to the data

✨ Key Features

• Communication-less Access Control: Revoke access without notifying recipients
• Decentralized Storage: Data stored on IPFS for censorship resistance
• QR Code Key Exchange: Share cryptographic keys securely via QR codes
• Multi-recipient Support: Add unlimited recipients to encrypted data
• Interactive Demo: Step-by-step walkthrough of the protocol
