If you are a digital payment provider dealing with strict KYC and identity theft — this project developed a self-sovereign wallet and identity lifecycle manager that gives users control over their credentials while ensuring regulatory compliance.
Open-Source Secure Identity and Privacy-Preserving Data Sharing Platform
Imagine a digital vault where you own your ID and decide exactly who sees what, without giving away your master key. It's like having a smart assistant that can analyze your data or train AI models without ever actually seeing your private information. The system also acts like a security guard that automatically spots and stops digital break-ins.
What needed solving
Companies struggle to share sensitive data for AI training and identity verification without risking privacy leaks or violating EU laws. Current tools are often closed-source, expensive, or lack the scalability needed for industrial volumes.
What was built
An open-source platform featuring a core of identity and cryptography managers, value-added services like self-sovereign wallets and federated learning, and a security manager for cyber-attack detection.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a medical research consortium dealing with sensitive patient records — this project developed privacy-preserving federated learning and record linkage that allows training AI models across different hospitals without moving the actual data.
If you are an e-commerce platform dealing with GDPR and consumer data privacy — this project developed an anonymization manager and compliance manager for EU legislation that automates data protection rules.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing model for using this platform?
Based on available project data, the platform is being developed as open-source, which typically implies no licensing fees for the core software, though specific implementation costs are not listed.
Can this be scaled for industrial use?
Yes, the project specifically aims to tweak methods to enhance time efficiency and scalability, and will be tested in 3 industrial use cases.
What are the IP and licensing terms?
The project is explicitly described as an open-source platform, meaning the code is intended to be publicly available and reusable.
How does it handle EU data regulations?
The platform includes a compliance manager specifically designed for horizontal EU legislation to ensure data sharing meets legal requirements.
How easy is it to integrate into existing software?
The components are built as libraries that can be integrated into any system leveraging Python's open-source ecosystem.
Who built it
The consortium is well-balanced for technology transfer, featuring a 40% industry ratio with 4 industrial partners (including 2 SMEs) and 5 universities across 8 countries. This mix ensures that the academic research from the coordinator (University of Athens) is grounded in practical industrial requirements.
