CaniSafe: Secure Data Management

CaniSafe: Secure Data Management

One of the leading CANI Ecosystem services, CaniSafe is a user-pseudonymous data trust and authorisation service run on the Internet Computer protocol.

It implements encryption methods and smart contracts to automate data processing on a decentralised network.

This network is structured on micro instances, which serve as representative participants in data processing. This structure helps prevent data leakage from accidents or violations by unauthorised parties.

CaniSafe leverages the Internet Computer Protocol's decentralized architecture and blockchain technology's immutability to create a robust, secure platform. This allows music artists to manage and protect their intellectual property and license music through a DAO. CaniSafe aims to provide a comprehensive solution that addresses challenges such as copyright infringement, unauthorised distribution, and revenue loss faced by musicians in the digital age.

Furthermore, our solution enables high-level secured data storage with EU-GDPR compliance and Swiss DLT laws, which are unavailable in other blockchains.

We aim to leverage the system for innovation as one equipped with advanced automation, thereby evolving into a fully tokenised decentralised media model.

This venture leads into uncharted territory with significant business potential, made possible only by the power of Internet Computer architecture.

CaniSafe Architecture Overview

CANISafe structure consists of several key components:

DAO Board

This module is responsible for managing the DAO organisation, including the creation and governance of user music spaces. It facilitates the overall coordination of the CANI ecosystem, ensuring decentralised decision-making and governance.

Identity Domain

This component represents the personal music space of an artist. It is where individual musicians can manage their music collections, albums, songs, licensing, and charging services. Each artist’s personal domain serves as their dedicated environment for organising and distributing their creative works.

OSS Bucket

This is the cloud storage service for music files, providing a scalable and secure way to store the actual audio content. It supports streaming services, allowing the stored music files to be accessed and distributed efficiently. There is a one-to-many relationship between CaniStore_space and CaniStore_oss_bucket, where each artist’s space can link to multiple storage buckets.

User Centre

This is the user management centre of the platform. It handles authentication and login services for both musicians and regular users. The platform supports multiple login methods, ensuring flexibility for all types of users to access their accounts.

Indexer

This component serves as the platform's search engine. It catalogs information related to musicians, music resources, and users, enabling efficient matching and querying. This cataloging system plays a crucial role in powering the search functionality for the music portal, helping users discover musicians and their works through a well-organized resource database.

CANI Identity Domain

The CANI Identity Domain is a personal account for the CaniSafe platform. It combines three key elements:

• Electronic ID (e-ID): This is your unique identifier on the CaniSafe platform, similar to a username.

• Canister-based Wallet: This secure wallet allows you to store and manage your digital assets and verifiable credentials. Think of it like a digital vault.

• Decentralized Storage: Your data is stored securely and privately on the decentralized Internet Computer, giving you full control and ownership.

How it Works

Every user on the Internet Computer network has a "Principal ID." This is a unique identifier that allows you to interact with services and applications (dApps). When you need to manage data or assets on CaniSafe, you'll be assigned an Identity Domain. This acts as your personal account and gives you complete control over your data and how it's used.

Key Features

• Self-Custody: You have complete control over your Identity Domain and the assets within it. No one else can access or control your data.

• Security: Your data is protected by the robust security of the Internet Computer blockchain.

• Easy Access: You can access your Identity Domain through a user-friendly management portal.

• Data Management: You can easily review, update, and manage your information.

• Activity Tracking: You can monitor how your data is being accessed and used by approved applications.

Your CANI Identity Domain is your personal and secure space within the CaniSafe ecosystem. It gives you the tools and control you need to manage your digital identity and assets effectively.

Managing Your Data Rights

CaniSafe is designed to make it easy for you to control your personal information. Here's how:

Protecting Your Creative Work on CANI

CANI is designed to help you protect your music and prove you own it. Here's how it works:

• Built on Copyright Law: CANI works with existing copyright laws to give you legal protection for your original music.

• Clear Ownership Records: When you upload your music to CANI, you create a document that clearly states you are the owner. This document includes important details like your name, the title of the song, and when it was created.

• Official Recognition: If your country has a copyright office, you can upload official documents to CANI to further strengthen your ownership claim.

• Secure and Permanent Storage: Your ownership information is stored securely and permanently on the blockchain. This means it can't be tampered with or lost, and you can always access it to prove your ownership.

• Overcoming Challenges: Even if you can't access your local copyright office due to political issues or other disruptions, CANI helps you protect your work. Your ownership information is safely stored on the blockchain, providing reliable proof of your rights.

Ownership Metadata: How CANI Manages Royalties

When your music is streamed, played on the radio, or used in a movie, many people contribute to its success – artists, lyricists, producers, and songwriters. CANI uses something called "ownership metadata" to make sure everyone gets paid fairly. This is crucial for musicians, but equally so for other digital creations like photos, books, and artwork.

What is Ownership Metadata?

Ownership metadata is information that tracks who owns what part of a creative work and how much they should be paid. This information is essential for calculating and distributing royalties correctly.

Why is Accurate Metadata Important?

Even small errors in ownership metadata can cause big problems. Creators can lose out on significant income if their contributions aren't accurately recorded.

How CANI Helps

CANI makes it easy to track ownership information and ensure everyone involved in creating music and other digital content gets their fair share of the revenue. This not only protects your income but also helps you get the credit you deserve.

Conclusion

CANI empowers digital creators of all kinds, from musicians and visual artists to writers and educators, by providing robust tools to protect their work. By combining copyright laws with the security of blockchain technology, CANI ensures that creators can confidently manage and protect their rights.

With CANI, creators can easily establish clear ownership records and collaborate with copyright offices to further strengthen their claims. All documentation is securely stored on the blockchain, providing a permanent and tamper-proof record of ownership. This allows creators to verify their rights and protect their work, even in challenging circumstances. CANI fosters a secure and transparent environment where creators can focus on what they do best – bringing their ideas to life – with the peace of mind that their rights are protected.
