Abstract

Centralized data architectures are the predominant architectures used by systems today. Decentralized data architectures, making use of data link networks, allow users to store private data in personal online data stores (POD). When fitness data is stored in a POD, the user has full control over the data and may modify fitness data. Medical aid providers that makes use of fitness data for benefit calculations cannot trust fitness data in existing POD architectures. PAUDIT is an architectural model that describes a decentralized data architecture that audits changes to access control lists on POD servers. The audit information allows medical aid providers to verify if users may have changed fitness data. PAUDIT describes an architecture that allows medical aid providers to verify the validity of fitness data.
