Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for data sharing. In example embodiments, a method for data sharing is provided. The method comprises, in response to receiving a first request to share data of a user from a data sharing agent, creating a data sharing smart contract for the user. The method further comprises publishing the data sharing smart contract to one or more data consumers. The method further comprises, in response to receiving a second request to access the data from a data consumer, generating, by executing the data sharing smart contract, an indication that the data consumer is authorized to access the data. In addition, the method further comprises sending the indication to the data consumer. In this way, end users are enabled to manage and share their personal data by themselves.
