COVA is an open source, new internet protocol of smart data that learns from its users, remembers and knows when to keep a secret and many more. It allows data owners to compose a data usage policy that specifies how their data is expected to behave, enforcing the policy by code through a machine-enforceable data usage policy called the "Smart Policy".

With COVA, gone are the days when our data on the internet is exposed to numerous dangers, like abuse, theft and the likes. COVAs smart policy gives users total control over the behavior of their data when they are logged into the internet.

Now users can do the following just by replacing the conventional http(s):// with COVA://

  1. That my Snapchat photo may only be rendered individually and not be processed by facial recognition.

  2. That a shopper’s mobile GPS data may not be used with her other data to construct an intrusive customer profiling.

  3. That a patient’s CT Scan may be processed by an aggregate function and not rendered individually.

  4. That my credit card number may only be used once for a one-time charge. It will be erased from the server after the payment is completed.

  5. That my password is salted and hashed before being persisted to a database.

  6. That these text messages can only be viewed after tonight.

  7. That this ebook can only be shared 15 times.

  8. That k-anonymity or differential privacy is applied before my data can be used.

  9. That only specific open-source libraries can be used to process my data.

  10. That an ad or disclaimer has to be viewed before my content can be seen.

The difficulty involved in seeing a new project get listed on CMC cannot be overemphasized, COVA was able to achieve that feat in so short a time and this goes a long way to speak about the quality of the project. After winning the Huobi Next voting challenge which saw them getting listed on the exchange, COVA has also announced a strategic partnership with Bitmax - a new exchange platform that has been listed on CMC, due to its unique reverse mining model - that will see them listed on the exchange too.

Below is an explanatory video of how COVA works:
