We constructed a solution based on a hash tree structure and digitally signed only the hash tree's root value. Thus, a verifiable signature can be retained even if data items are omitted and a valid signature serves as signal of consent. To re-assure that no change of consent has taken place we propose the use of certificate revocation mechanisms. As a side-effect these mechanisms allow to maintain a record of personal data usage and thus creates a win-win situation for both parties involved. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-540-88625-9\_19} \end
