6 Categories of Trust around personal data transactions (adrian)

• identifying the person that is the subject of the data,
• identifying the user requesting person's data,
• recording and auditing the authorization to release the person's data,
• establishing the authenticity of the data that is being released,
• paying the service that offered the personal data,
• and auditing that the shared data was used as expected.

Each of these six could be a different blockchain and a different standard.
