%X Nowadays, smart devices have become incredibly popular—literally everybody has one. Due to an enormous quantity of versatile apps, these devices positively affect almost every aspect of their users' lives. E.g., there are apps collecting and monitoring health data from a certain domain such as diabetes-related or respiration-related data. However, they cannot display their whole potential since they have only access to their own data and cannot combine it with data from other apps, e.g., in order to create a comprehensive electronic health record. On that account, we introduce a secure shared object store called CURATOR. In CURATOR apps cannot only manage their own data in an easy and performant way, but they can also share it with other apps. Since some of the data is confidential, CURATOR has several security features, including authentication, fine-grained access control, and encryption. In this paper, we discuss CURATOR's design and implementation and evaluate its performance.
