Behrm

Behrm is a fictional organization and technology described in speculative fiction and role-playing game settings. It centers on a privacy-preserving data exchange platform and the corporate conglomerate Behrm Incorporated.

The Behrm Protocol enables individuals and organizations to exchange data under strict consent and usage rules while preserving anonymity and control. Data owners receive compensation tied to data quality and usage, and buyers obtain verifiable, aggregate insights without accessing raw personal information.

Technology and architecture: the platform combines a permissioned distributed ledger, zero-knowledge proofs, differential privacy, and trusted execution environments to audit data access, enforce policies, and run computations securely.

Organization and governance: Behrm Incorporated is presented as a multinational entity with research arms and regional divisions. A community council represents user interests, and a separate ethics board reviews new data-use cases.

In fiction, Behrm is used to explore questions of data sovereignty, corporate power, and the social implications of pervasive data markets. Real-world discussions about data rights and privacy are often contrasted with Behrm's imagined framework.
