Abstract

Personal and sensitive information about individuals, often needs to be legitimately exchanged among different stakeholders, to provide services, maintain public health, law and order, and so on. While such exchanges are necessary, they also impose enormous privacy and security challenges. Data protection laws like GDPR specify conditions and the legal capacity in which personal information can be solicited and disseminated further. But there is a dearth of formalisms for specifying legal capacities and jurisdictional boundaries, so that open-ended exchange of sensitive data can be implemented. This paper proposes an extensible framework called Multiverse in which sensitive data can flow across a network through "role tunnels" established based on corresponding legal capacities.
