Systems and methods for decentralized data management across interoperable distributed platforms are disclosed. A computing system receives input data associated with a unique decentralized identifier (DID) representing an entity or event. The computing system segments the input data into encrypted data segments, each cryptographically linked to the DID, and distributes these encrypted segments across decentralized storage nodes according to a redundancy scheme. A cryptographic lineage record, including segment identifiers, timestamps, and hashes linked to the DID, is stored in a decentralized ledger. In response to authenticated access requests, the computing system reconstructs the input data by retrieving, decrypting, and cryptographically verifying the distributed data segments against the lineage record. Authorized entities access the reconstructed data through interfaces enforcing cryptographically secured access permissions defined within the decentralized ledger, providing enhanced security, provenance verification, and data resilience.
