Special Issue on Data Security Governance Technologies for Web 3.0
In the dawn of the Web 3.0 era, we stand at the forefront of a digital technological revolution that is reshaping the way we store, access, and share data. Web 3.0 is poised to fundamentally redefine our paradigms of data storage, access, and dissemination. At the heart of this transformation lies the emphasis on decentralization, semantic web capabilities, the automation and trustworthiness of smart contracts, and the fortification offered by advanced encryption techniques.
The convergence of these groundbreaking technologies promises to revolutionize the domain of data security governance. However, with every stride in innovation comes a set of intricate challenges that need to be addressed. Decentralization, for instance, while offering a more democratized and resilient data storage model, also necessitates a reevaluation of traditional data access mechanisms. This shift not only decentralizes data repositories but also empowers users with unprecedented control over their personal data, thereby reshaping the very dynamics of data ownership and sovereignty. The rapid and dynamic evolution of these technologies presents a constantly shifting landscape of security and privacy concerns. These challenges underscore the imperative for a multidisciplinary approach to data security governance in the Web 3.0 era. It is evident that addressing these multifaceted challenges requires concerted efforts, fostering collaborations among researchers, technologists, engineers, legal experts, and policymakers.
To foster a comprehensive discourse on these pressing topics and to delve deeply into the latest developments, innovations, and research in this domain, we cordially invite researchers, practitioners, and experts from around the globe to contribute their findings, experiences, and insights. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
