The recent increase in reported incidents of surveillance and security breaches compromising users’ privacy call into question the current model, in which third-parties collect and control massive amounts of personal data. Popular cryptocurrencies have demonstrated in the financial space that trusted, auditable computing is possible using a decentralized network of peers accompanied by a public ledger.

Up until now, social networks’ users have been expected to read thousands of words to understand how their data is used. And, let’s be honest, we don’t always do that. Staying logged into a social network can mean it can see practically all of the other sites you visit and this information is sometimes used to serve up adverts you might be interested in. Some companies also aggregate your data so advertisers can reach very specific demographics, such as a 40-something male, living in Tokyo, who owns a dog and likes fried chicken.

Giant companies appreciate personal data like no one do because the data gleaned from your online habits can be used to attract advertisers.

By using decentralized systems, people have the potential to decide who can obtain their information, and how much it is worth. For example, if you are a high-flying professional who has registered with a recruitment marketplace, this company could make other users pay for access to your contact details and your full profile. Therefore, the company opens a site or application and checks all information stored in distributed ledgers.

How can I do that?

One of the pioneers in this area is Aworker, a multi-chain solution that consists of a data protocol for applications, a people identification system, data exchange. Altogether, these features form a multifunctional infrastructure for the creation of a unified Reputation system for apps.

Aworker DApp — a decentralized platform for recruitment where you can find a dream job for yourself or your friend, spouse, acquaintance, etc. The catch here is that you have to prove the data you write about by attaching certificates or other verifying documents. People can prove their competence without lengthy checks and information gathering. In this case, applicants will be able to manage their data and monetize it if necessary.

At the same time, Aworker protocol will give complete information to companies when hiring employees. Lack of verified information about applicants is one of the significant problems in HR in our time. It is nearly impossible for one application with centralized servers to solve this problem. The protocol will unite the efforts of application developers and gather complete information about applicants.
