Smart Contracts and Data Privacy
Blockchain Technology, Data Management and Smart Contracts: Challenges and Opportunities Australian National University 24 February 2020.
The talk explored the data privacy issues stemming for the use of smart contracts and considered the effects of the General Data Protection Regulation and the Australian Privacy Act comparatively. In particular, by focusing on smart contracts the presentation explored how distributed ledger tech causes serious privacy headaches through its prioritization of the elimination of trust issues. Through its focus on blockchain the talk concluded that there are often (more interesting) technologies that are better suited to addressing problems that can be deployed.
