SphereShield: Data Governance and Cybersecurity Dataspace Framework
SphereShield is a specialized data governance and security framework designed to complement an ADF dataspace ecosystem . Engineered to ensure trust, compliance, and control, SphereShield provides robust mechanisms for secure data sharing, identity management, and policy enforcement across domain-specific dataspaces, empowering organizations to maintain data sovereignty, protect sensitive information, and govern data interactions seamlessly. SphereShield features an advanced decentralised Identity Management (IdM) framework based on the concepts of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) to truly align with the decentralised nature of dataspaces as well as the standards of prominent dataspace initiatives. State-of-the-art technologies like Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs), Verifiable Credentials (VCs) and blockchain ledgers constitute a cybersecurity and data governance framework that is not dependant on any central authority but can be tailored to the needs of the dataspace and its prefered governance authorities and methods. By utilisation of the above technologies, SphereShield enables the onboarding, the authenticaion and authorisation of dataspace participants and enforces data protection schemes and granular policies, managing data provenance, quality, and compliance with regulations such as GDPR .
