Privacy-preserving technologies ICT-18
portfolio of projects
• SODA – Scalable Oblivious Data Analytics: it will enable
practical privacy-preserving data analytics using specific
techniques to enable privacy improvements. Data would not
need to be shared, only made available for encrypted
processing.
• MH-MD – My Health - My Data: a new way to share private
