Personal data, such as health IoT data, nowadays is possessed by service providers’ central data centers, and individuals do not have ultimate control over the data they produce. This is a growing concern due to the sensitive nature of such user-generated data. The proposed Web 3.0-based data infrastructure is an evolution of the current centralized data ecosystem, aiming to address some of its limitations and challenges. This project aims to build a zero-trust and traceable data-sharing ecosystem Web3DB, where data ownership and control are returned to the individuals who generate the data. In Web3DB, the data owners will be able to define the data access and sharing policy that will be enforced in a zero-trust manner, i.e., without relying on central coordinators or infrastructure. During such access control, users’ identities and credentials will always remain encrypted for their privacy. Access and usage of individuals’ data will be logged securely such that only the data owners can monitor the access and usage of their data. Furthermore, this research will support the development of a diverse cohort of Ph.D., undergraduate, and high school students.Underlying the proposed work is a novel zero-trust infrastructure for traceable data sharing. The project will entail research activities that result in (1) novel decentralized/self-sovereign identity management and access control with such decentralized identities in a zero-trust manner, (2) new theories and capabilities in the field of accountable data sharing as well as secure and privacy-preserving data auditing, and (3) new theories for optimizing distributed storage network and new understandings of the capacity of layer 2 blockchain extensions in the non-cryptocurrency blockchain. The research outcomes will be implemented and integrated into the prototype system of the Web 3.0 database the team has been building. Realistic simulations and real-world emulations will be conducted. The project outcomes include (1) open-source projects of Web3DB, a zero-trust traceable data sharing infrastructure, (2) an actively maintained and growing Web 3.0-based zero-trust data sharing ecosystem with multiple institutions, and (3) education materials for teaching and learning research components of Web3DB among undergraduate and high school students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

当今的个人数据，例如健康物联网数据，由服务提供商的中央数据中心采用，并且个人对产生的数据没有最终的控制。由于此类用户生成的数据的敏感性，这是一个日益严重的问题。拟议的基于Web 3.0的数据基础架构是当前集中数据生态系统的演变，旨在应对其一些局限性和挑战。该项目旨在建立一个零值和可追溯的数据共享生态系统Web3DB，其中数据所有权和控制返回给生成数据的个人。在Web3DB中，数据所有者将能够定义数据访问和共享策略，这些策略将以零信任的方式执行，即而不依赖中央协调员或基础架构。在此类访问控制期间，用户的身份和凭据将始终为其隐私而加密。个人数据的访问和使用将被牢固地记录，以便只有数据所有者才能监视其数据的访问和使用情况。此外，这项研究将支持开发不同博士学位，本科生和高中生的群体。在拟议的工作中，这是一种用于可追溯数据共享的新型零信任基础架构。该项目将需要进行研究活动，导致（1）以零信任方式以这种分散的身份进行分散/自我提升的身份管理和访问控制，（2）在负责任的数据共享领域中的新理论和能力，以及安全和隐私审核的范围，以及（3）新理论，以及（3）新的理论，（3）新的理论，（3）新理论的分布量2）非晶体区块链。研究结果将被实施并集成到该团队一直在建立的Web 3.0数据库的原型系统中。将进行现实的模拟和现实仿真。项目结果包括（1）Web3DB的开源项目，零值可追溯的数据共享基础架构，（2）一种积极维护和增长的基于Web 3.0的基于Web 3.0的零信任数据共享生态系统，并具有多个机构，以及（3）在较高的学生和高中生中的教育材料，以表现出较高的学生和高中生的教育材料。值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来支持。
