#trusted data sharing

X.509 certificates is to enable trusted exchanges. This is achieved by leveraging asymmetric cryptography, where a user has both a public and private key pair tied to their identity. This allows anyone else to decrypt data to send to the user using the public, which they can then decrypt with their private key. 

Trusted data sharing can be severely hampered by issues that “slow down” data, such as lack of interoperability, incompatible data collection and querying protocols, and low-speed ETL processes. This element of data sharing is often overlooked as, technically, the data is still shared. But the hidden cost is how much value has been lost in transit.

The solution to all of these issues, and many others, is the use of virtualized data platforms to handle data sharing. Data virtualization creates an interoperable data layer that draws together only the data needed for specific queries wherever it is located.

The underpinning concept of PKI, where one person encrypts a message knowing that the recipient has the secret key to decrypt it, has been in practice for thousands of years. Today, it’s most familiar use is probably online communications. 

With the basics explained, let’s take a look at the processes of PKI infrastructure. Past encryption systems, such as the Caesar cipher, used relatively basic methods to disguise the message they were protecting. Due to the value of deciphering secret messages, decryption efforts, like those happening at Bletchley Park during WW2, became increasingly important. 

Data consent management has a number of critical impacts on both data operations and any organization that handles data. Here are some of the main ones.

Efficient DataOps relies on high-insight velocity from the outer edge (data collection points) to the inner core (data processing) and back again (frontline teams). Without streamlining consent management and integrating it into DataOps, organizations waste significant time cleaning and parsing datasets for downstream users.

The energy ecosphere is complex and far-reaching, covering a vast network of stakeholders, producers, distributors, governments, and end-users. With the increasing availability of data throughout the energy data lifecycle, we can create a more sustainable and cost-effective way of living. Grid data sharing is the key to unlocking this potential and transitioning to a clean energy economy with better service.

Organizations that wish to maximize the value from their data, comply with regulations, and minimize risk need to ensure secure data processing. Fortunately, Intertrust offers data management technology that not only improves security but also increases the speed of insight.

Numerous high-profile cases have highlighted the vulnerabilities surrounding NFT copyright content and the urgent need for robust and scalable security measures. For example, pirates gain unauthorized access to the original content and distribute it freely or sell it without the creator’s consent. 

With a more thorough understanding of the current state of NFT security and potential solutions, market participants can better understand their options as they navigate the evolving landscape of digital assets while safeguarding the interests of creators and collectors alike.

Energy utilities can benefit immensely from trusted data sharing by using it to improve service delivery, identify the most efficient locations for infrastructure, and reduce costs through predictive maintenance. As we explored in this white paper, data platforms empower utilities, equipment manufacturers, and local governments to share critical system data that benefits all while also remaining compliant with data protection laws such as the GDPR and CCPA.
