8BELLS participates in ENCRYPT project

Eight Bells Ltd. participates in the ENCRYPT Project, funded by the European Union’s Research and Innovation Framework Programme Horizon Europe, with a duration of three years (July 2022 – June 2025).

The project’s main goal is to address challenges related to existing Privacy Preserving technologies, thus providing researchers and service providers working with personal and other sensitive data, with a scalable, practical, adaptable privacy-preserving framework facilitating the GDPR-compliant processing of such data stored in federated cross-border data spaces. Within this framework, a recommendation engine for citizens and end-users will be developed, providing them with personalised suggestions on privacy preserving technologies depending on the sensitivity of data and the accepted trade-off between the degree of security and the overall system performance.

14 partners from 8 countries have formed an interdisciplinary consortium, covering the value chain for privacy- preserving computation technologies, and they will work together for the next 36 months to realise ENCRYPT offer.

8BELLS in ENCRYPT serves primarily as key technology provider of a quantified measure of privacy, offered by Differential Privacy, allowing AI systems to choose the explicit tradeoff between privacy and accuracy, while ensuring reliability. Additionally, 8ELLS participates in the Cybersecurity Use Case, as data owner and end-user. Finally, 8BELLS leads, manages and coordinates the activities towards increasing the impact of ENCRYPT, namely serving as the Communication and the Exploitation leader.
