Auditable Sharing and Management of Sensitive Data Across Jurisdictions

Odyssey is a set of applications and tools that enables sharing of sensitive data between multiple distrustful parties. This project uses state-of-the-art secret management service on the blockchain coupled with an enclave delivery mechanism.

This project has been retired from the C4DT Factory Incubator

It is no longer actively supported. However, if you have questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us.

Together with our C4DT partner Swiss Re and the DEDIS lab, we created a pilot to solve one of Swiss Re's business use cases. Their data analysts need to be able to calculate with data from different sources that have different restrictions. These restrictions can include only being able to work in a certain jurisdiction, or not being allowed to be used together with other data, or only to be handled by a restricted set of data analysts.

Using the access control system of Calypso, all these requirements have been mapped. It now allows a data owner to enter their dataset into the system, together with the access rules that need to apply. The data scientists can then request the datasets and use them in a secure environment.

Here is the full documentation, complete with a video showcasing the final pilot.

The DEDIS team is working on projects related to large-scale collective authorities (cothorities), which distribute trust among a number of independent parties to allow scalable self-organizing communities. With no single trusted party, cothorities can secure software updates, provide public randomness, enable privacy-conscious medical-data sharing and a lot more. Other projects include communicating securely over insecure channels and fast, scalable, accountable anonymous communication.
