Abstract
A computing device and computer-implemented method to provide access to a private data object is described. The system uses Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) and smart contracts as a mechanism to provide access to data. The information to which the token refers, e.g., the artwork, is viewable by everyone as part of a digital ledger network. The token is used only to determine who owns that item. The present approach offers an alternative for using NFT, so that access to the information itself to which the token is linked is controlled and negotiated by the token owner. The present invention can be applied to any IoT network that performs data collection that is of interest to companies or organizations outside the network in which the collection was performed, allowing to identify the ownership of IoT devices. Thus, enabling access control to the device's data, by their owners, directly through the blockchain.
