Privacy-preserving legal transformation: case study of the Polkadot ecosystem within the context of Swiss law.
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:
- Patient medical records: current technology overview, upcoming challenges and an outlook of how Polkadot could come to the rescue.
- 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.
- On-chain Power of Attorney: potential benefits for the Swiss legal system.
- Risk-free patent applications: using commit-reveal for patent protection

Hi Julia, Could you please update the full proposal link? it seems that we don't have the access to review it.
@otar my bad, the github was private. It should work now!
