Data tracking by auditing data

Adoption Request

General information

This project will present a first proof of concept of how traceability of data usage can be implemented using the EDC Connector event framework and audit logging.

In this PoC, the traceability of data is limited to the AWS dataplane. The EDC Connector logs which exact assets are stored with which key in the AWS bucket. With this information, data usage can be traced from the shared logs of the EDC Connector and the AWS S3 bucket. Elasticsearch was chosen as the instance to merge both logs in this project.

A simple Python script takes over the analysis of the log data.
