    Digital Sovereignty 1.3 - Architectures for Secure Internet Services

    Today’s data center focused and organized Internet services are just like dinosaurs – they were very successful at their time, but eventually vanished in a continuously changing world. If services shall be successful in the future, they have to take data sovereignty of their users/consumers into account. Being decentrally organized, local operation (in personalized devices such as smart-phones, smart home servers, PC and others we currently do not even dream of), anonymity, and resilience are their immanent characteristics.

    "Do Not Put All Your Eggs into One Basket"...

    ...an ancient proverb, which is fully applicable to Digital Sovereignty. If we want to become sovereign of our data again, we have to replace the currently predominant approach based on centrally managed data and the accumulation of a person’s information items in one place.
