Conceptualization of A GDPR-Mining Blockchain-Based Auditor: A Systematic Review

Abstract

This paper is a systematic literature review of the compliance of blockchain with the General Data Protection Regulation act. Although there are contradictory opinions about the compliance of blockchain with General Data Protection Regulation amongst different researchers, in this paper, we conduct a systematic literature review on the topic to get a perspective on previous studies and models to build a conceptual blockchain-based General Data Protection Regulation-mining two-way monetized auditor design upon existing solutions and models for an interactive software auditing the transactions between the data subjects and third parties. This review aims to answer the dilemma of the applicability of blockchain in auditing the transactions between the data subjects and data processors in the General Data Protection Regulation framework. Moreover, this paper discusses the implications and limitations and paves the path for future studies to elaborate on the concept.
