rgpdOS: GDPR Enforcement By The Operating System

Operating Systems 2022-05-31 v2 Cryptography and Security

Abstract

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) forces IT companies to comply with a number of principles when dealing with European citizens' personal data. Non-compliant companies are exposed to penalties which may represent up to 4% of their turnover. Currently, it is very hard for companies driven by personal data to make their applications GDPR-compliant, especially if those applications were developed before the GDPR was established. We present rgpdOS, a GDPR-aware operating system that aims to bring GDPR-compliance to every application, while requiring minimal changes to application code.
