Client Diligence Check

Automated deterministic

Description of client diligence

Mechanism for Verifying Clients and Establishing Initial Trust
Identity Verification: Clients will fill out a KYC form during registration, providing their full name, email, and country/region. They must upload a government-issued identity document (e.g., passport, ID card) for verification.
Initial Trust Establishment: Initial trust is established through the KYC process, which includes identity verification and a review of the client's data ownership claims.
Mitigating Sybil Attacks
Rate Limits: Implement rate limits on application submissions to prevent automated bots from creating multiple accounts.
Deterministic Rules: Limit the number of accounts that can be created from a single IP address.
Reputation System: Develop a reputation system where clients earn trust scores based on their history of valid transactions and positive reviews.
Verifying Authenticity of Data Ownership Claims
Documentation Requirements: Clients must provide the following:
Data Source: Link or metadata of the data source.
Ownership Proof: Copyright certificates, purchase receipts, or other ownership proofs for private data.
Previous Storage: Answer whether the dataset has been stored on Filecoin before and provide reasons for storing it again.
Data Preparation:
Experience: If the client is a data preparer, they must list previous applications and client IDs.
Preparation Method: Describe how the data will be prepared, including tools and technical details.
Third Party: If the data is prepared by a third party, provide the name and business details of the preparer.
Providing Evidence and Proof for Auditing
Audit Logs: Maintain detailed audit logs of all client interactions, including application submissions, identity verification processes, and data ownership proofs.
Transparent Reporting: Generate regular reports summarizing client diligence activities and provide these to the Governance Team.
Secure Storage: Store all verification documents and audit logs securely using encrypted storage solutions to ensure data integrity and confidentiality.

Type of data

Description of Data Diligence

Verifying Clients Are Within Program Scope
Scope Verification: Review data nature and ensure it aligns with Fil+ program criteria.
Ensuring Data Meets Legal Requirements
Legal Compliance: Verify data complies with local and regional laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
Data Ownership: Require clients to provide ownership proofs (e.g., copyright certificates, purchase receipts).
Data Sampling and Verification
Data Sampling: Perform random and stratified sampling to ensure data quality and authenticity.
Verification Tools: Use hash functions and IPFS to verify data integrity and match initial claims.
