What happens to your digital identity after you're gone? The Digital Afterlife Protection Framework (DAPF) secures a deceased person's accounts and data using blockchain records, asymmetric signatures, multi-factor identity checks and anomaly-based fraud detection — with an ethical, user-driven choice over what happens to each asset.
DAPF is a policy-driven framework for handling someone's digital life after they pass — accounts, data, and 'afterlife assets'. It layers blockchain records, asymmetric signatures, multi-factor verification and anomaly-based fraud detection, and lets people decide in advance what happens to each asset.
