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.

The Data Manager can add new data sources, change the access control, and verify the usage of their data

The Data Scientist can request different data sources, and will get these resources delivered in a personalized, temporary virtual machine

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