# Privacy

Key components of the Ternoa private data protocol include:

1. Layer 1 blockchain running on Polkadot technology
2. On-chain protocol that includes rules for state management and access of encrypted NFTs, on-chain registration for secret node operators, and rewards management
3. Secure enclaves running in Trusted Execution environments for distributed key management, organized in clusters that sync data among themselves in real-time for data redundancy,
4. In-enclave oracles to communicate keyshare receipt to blockchain.
5. Ternoa Javascript SDK to build DApps
6. Ternoa IPFS gateway to allow decentralized storage of encrypted private data
7. Ternoa indexer and dictionary for DApps to access historical on-chain data
8. Attestation server for remote attestation of enclaves
9. Metrics server to record performance of secret nodes and submit scores to blockchain
10. Dashboard for secret node operators to claim rewards

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ternoa.network/learn/introduction/privacy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
