Abstract

As the digital ecosystem evolves, personal data protection and privacy control have become paramount concerns. Traditional centralized approaches to data management and privacy often pose risks to individuals’ data security and privacy. This research paper explores the potential of decentralization and federated approaches as innovative solutions for enhancing personal data protection and privacy control. By distributing data across multiple entities and empowering individuals with control over their data, decentralized and federated models offer increased security, privacy, and data autonomy. This paper investigates the benefits, challenges, and future prospects of decentralized and federated approaches in personal data protection and privacy control.
