The program covers all organizations in the digital space, but the specific requirements vary based on an organization’s size and risk level. Broadly speaking, larger organizations and those that handle sensitive data will have to meet higher thresholds to demonstrate the appropriate level of trust than smaller entities handling general data.
In the future, we may extend its use to areas such as ethical AI and environmentally sustainable IT. But for the test phase it will be limited to these three domains.
The Digital Trust Program pilot will use CryptoMill CODA Arenas (Circles Orchestrated Discussion Arenas) to house and share content in a simple, straight-forward, efficient, and highly secure process. Upon being uploaded, any data shared within the CODA Arena is immediately protected as it is received. CODA protects data using a dedicated Circle of Trust, each uniquely specific to the Arena. That means that all messages and uploaded files are fully encrypted using the industry standard, government-grade cipher, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). Once protected, only Arena members will be able to access the protected data – even if it is downloaded to a participant’s device. CODA enforces the access restrictions and the Arena will only allow access to the accredited Arena/Circle users. As the data is securely stored, users will be able to consume it for as long as the Arena will be active. Once the project or task is done, and the review of the data is complete, the Arena can be deleted and with it, the associated Circle. This action destroys the Circle keys and, in doing so, immediately “secure erases” all of the data contained in the Arena. Furthermore, this now-erased data will also be deleted from the Arena data store, leaving behind absolutely no trace of its existence..
