“…Patel et al (2019) propose a fully decentralized protocol named DAuth that leverages asymmetric encryption in order to implement authentication; Cai et al (2020) introduce a secure Solid authentication mechanism, integrating Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) signatures into permissioned blockchain systems. In turn, Becker et al (2021) demonstrate how data stored in Solid pods can be monetized by leveraging a blockchain based payment system. Whereas, Havur et al (2020) discuss how solid could potentially leverage existing consent, transparency and compliance checking approaches.…”

Decentralization initiatives such as Solid, Digi.me, and ActivityPub aim to give data owners more control over their data and to level the playing field by enabling small companies and individuals to gain access to data, thus stimulating innovation. However, these initiatives typically use access control mechanisms that cannot verify compliance with usage conditions after access has been granted to others. In this paper, we extend the state of the art by proposing a resource governance conceptual framework, entitled ReGov, that facilitates usage control in decentralized web environments. We subsequently demonstrate how our framework can be instantiated by combining blockchain and trusted execution environments. Through blockchain technologies, we record policies expressing the usage conditions associated with resources and monitor their compliance. Our instantiation employs trusted execution environments to enforce said policies, inside data consumers’ devices. We evaluate the framework instantiation through a detailed analysis of requirments derived from a data market motivating scenario, as well as an assessment of the security, privacy, and affordability aspects of our proposal.
