Securing and Standardizing Data Rights Requests with a Data Rights Protocol
summary
Consumer Reports describes a practical protocol that encodes data-rights requests into signed packets, implemented as five HTTPS endpoints, using libSodium for signatures and GitHub-managed service directories for discovery. A pilot app Permission Slip reaches ~10,000 users and sent hundreds of thousands of opt-out/deletion requests; research found 14% of companies failed to confirm agent requests and only just over half confirmed successful opt-outs. The proposal adds a lightweight governance agreement and reference tests to automate agent-driven requests.
