Privacy preserving data processing in a solid ecosystem using agents

A Software-as-a-Service computing platform, comprising:

• computing hardware;
• computer software executing on the computer hardware, the computer software comprising program code executed on the computing hardware to provide privacy preserving data processing in a linked data operating environment wherein applications have secure and permissioned access in an interoperable manner to data that is stored in one or more online data stores, the program code configured to:
• instantiate a secure privacy preserving data processing (PPDP) environment in association with the one or more online data stores;
• execute a PPDP agent within the secure PPDP environment over a configured security context and life-cycle of the PPDP agent, the PPDP agent configured for use by an entity to process the data in association with the one or more online data stores;
• and
• responsive to closing of the PPDP agent's life-cycle, or upon a given event, terminate the PPDP agent and closing the PPDP environment.

A computer program product in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer program product comprising program code executable by one or more hardware processors to provide privacy preserving data processing in a linked data operating environment wherein applications have secure and permissioned access in an interoperable manner to data that is stored in one or more online data stores, the program code configured to:

• instantiate a secure privacy preserving data processing (PPDP) environment in association with the one or more online data stores;
• execute a PPDP agent within the secure PPDP environment over a configured security context and life-cycle of the PPDP agent, the PPDP agent configured for use by an entity to process the data in association with the one or more online data stores;
• and
• responsive to closing of the PPDP agent's life-cycle, or upon a given event, terminate the PPDP agent and closing the PPDP environment.
