If you are a medical provider dealing with sensitive patient records across borders — this project developed a sleep medicine demonstrator that allows high-accuracy health analysis without exposing private patient identities.
Privacy-Preserving AI for Secure Data Sharing and Unbiased Analysis
Imagine you want to find patterns in a giant pile of secret documents without actually reading them or letting anyone else see them. This project creates a digital 'blindfold' that lets computers analyze data and find answers while the information stays encrypted. It also strips away unfair biases, like race or gender, so the results are fair and neutral.
What needed solving
Organizations cannot analyze large volumes of sensitive data because of privacy risks and the presence of unfair biases (like race or gender) in AI models.
What was built
A set of cryptographic tools (Functional and Hybrid Homomorphic Encryption) and PPML models that analyze encrypted data without decrypting it.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a local authority dealing with security threats across different jurisdictions — this project developed a threat intelligence demonstrator that identifies risks using encrypted data to maintain security and privacy.
If you are a security firm dealing with the need to share threat data without leaking proprietary secrets — this project developed privacy-preserving machine learning models that classify encrypted data directly.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing for implementing these tools?
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the resulting software is not mentioned, though the project received an EU contribution of EUR 4,015,550 for development.
Can this be scaled to industrial levels?
The project focused on creating scalable solutions and demonstrated them through two real-world cross-border scenarios in health and threat intelligence.
How is the intellectual property or licensing handled?
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project contributes to Open Science and Reproducible Research.
Does this help with GDPR or data privacy regulations?
Yes, it uses Differential Privacy and cryptographic schemes to ensure data is processed in a privacy-preserving way, reducing the risk of privacy loss.
How easy is it to integrate with existing databases?
The project developed a way to combine cryptography with Differential Privacy specifically to secure and privatise existing databases.
Who built it
The consortium is well-balanced for technology transfer, featuring 13 partners across 9 countries. With an industry ratio of 38% (including 5 industry partners and 3 SMEs), there is significant commercial involvement to ensure the cryptographic tools meet market needs, supported by 6 universities and 1 research center.
