Privacy-preserving legal transformation: case study of the Polkadot ecosystem within the context of Swiss law.

5 years ago

The aim of the work is to provide a legal framework for lawmakers, as well as professionals in the medical, patent and administrative environments within the Swiss juridical system; to inform and prepare for the upcoming privacy-preserving technology; and finally to propose concrete solutions and guidelines for the governmental authorities.

You can find the full proposal here. I would love to get feedback on the scope of the individual articles to be written from the community, especially from those in the EU/EFTA countries, which tend to have a comparable legal framework.

I will set out to write about 3 out of 4 of the following topics that prove most popular with the community:

  1. Patient medical records: current technology overview, upcoming challenges and an outlook of how Polkadot could come to the rescue.
  2. How cryptography could help overcome privacy concerns in gene-sequencing: using zero-knowledge and encrypted computation for secure gene analysis with the help of a zero-knowledge parachain on Polkadot.
  3. On-chain Power of Attorney: potential benefits for the Swiss legal system.
  4. Risk-free patent applications: using commit-reveal for patent protection
