Development of a Blockchain Taxonomy
- Since its deployment in 2009 the Blockchain technology has been getting a lot of attention in research, media as well as various industries. In the beginning, only financial related use cases were discussed and implemented, as the first real life and well-known implementation was Bitcoin. Since then many different types of Blockchains evolved. However, it is still unclear what the basic characteristics of a Blockchain are and how those interact to form different types of Blockchains. With this research, we therefore propose a taxonomy of the Blockchain technology to help form a better understanding of the technology itself and guide future research on how to differentiate the multiple types.

myneDATA: Self-directed use of personal data with inherent privacy and data protection
The aim was to provide a data cockpit in which users are able to decide on the transfer and utilization of sensitive data. They are also able to formulate preferences for privacy protection. The cockpit provides information and assessments on personal privacy risks to accomplish a certain sensitization for that topic. If personal data are used for commercial purposes, users will have the opportunity to become involved in the proceeds by "Micropayment".
