HARPOCRATES: Federated Data Sharing and Analysis for Social Utility

Project Summary

The project focuses on setting the foundations of digitally blind evaluation systems that will, by design, eliminate proxies such as geography, gender, race, and others and eventually have a tangible impact on building fairer, democratic and unbiased societies. To do so, we plan to design several practical cryptographic schemes (Functional Encryption and Hybrid Homomorphic Encryption) for analysing data in a privacy-preserving way. 

Research is being conducted in collaboration with the following organizations:

Tampere University (Finland), RI.SE (Sweden), Trilateral Research (Ireland), Zentrix Lab (Serbia), Universitaetsmedizin Berlin (Germany), Universitaetsmedizin Göttingen (Germany), Sociedad Aragonesa de Gestión Agroambiental – SARGA (Spain), Regione Veneto (Italy), University of Eastern Finland (Finland), Université Paris Cité (France), S2 GRUPO (Spain), University of Westminster (United Kingdom)
