storing the encrypted data object on the persistent data storage device to produce the stored data object on the persistent data storage device.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the retrieving, to the system, the electronic form from the blockchain to produce the retrieved form comprises:

retrieving, from a key manager of the system, a data object key to produce a retrieved key;

retrieving a stored data object from the persistent data storage device to produce a retrieved data object, the retrieved data object comprising the electronic form as encrypted; and

decrypting, by the retrieved key, the retrieved data object to produce the electronic form.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is a first system, and the operations comprise:

receiving a request to transfer the stored data object from the first system to a second system, the first system being associated with a first user and the second system being associated with a second user; and

in response to the request to transfer the stored data object to the second system:

retrieving the stored data object from the persistent data storage device to produce a retrieved data object, the retrieved data object comprising the electronic form;

retrieving the stored hash from the blockchain to produce a retrieved hash;

validating the retrieved hash; and

transferring the retrieved data object from the first system to the second system responsive to the validating the retrieved hash being successful.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the transferring the retrieved data object from the first system to the second system responsive to the validating the retrieved hash being successful comprises:

retrieving a second system public key associated with the second system;

retrieving, from a key manager of the first system, a first system private key associated with the first system;

encrypting, by the first system private key, the retrieved data object to produce a first encrypted data object;

encrypting, by the second system public key, the first encrypted data object to produce a second encrypted data object; and

transferring the second encrypted data object from the first system to the second system.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the transferring the retrieved data object from the first system to the second system responsive to the validating the retrieved hash being successful further comprises:

determining whether the transferring the retrieved data object from the first system to the second system was completed; and

in response to determining that the transferring the retrieved data object from the first system to the second system was completed:

removing the stored data object from the persistent data storage device responsive to the receiving the confirmation; and

removing, from the key manager of the first system, a data object key for the stored data object.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is a first system, and the operations comprise:

receiving a request by a second system for an access right to the electronic form; and

authenticating the request by the second system for the access right to the stored data object corresponding to the electronic form; and

providing the second system the access right to the electronic form by storing access rights data for the stored data object on the blockchain responsive to the authenticating being successful.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the receiving the request by the second system for the access right to the electronic form comprises:

receiving an encrypted access request;

retrieving a second system public key associated with the second system;

retrieving, from a key manager of the first system, a first system private key associated with the first system;

decrypting, by the first system private key, the encrypted access request to produce a first decrypted access request; and
