AURORA MINDS

Short Description:

AURORA MINDS implements a multi-layered security framework that integrates Identity Management (IdM) and Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to ensure rigorous protection of sensitive data. This framework goes beyond basic security, embedding privacy Attribute-based Credentials (p-ABCs) that enable selective disclosure, ensuring full compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Moreover, the project implements a decentralized identity provider, built on blockchain, enhancing privacy by preventing tracking across service providers, and eliminating the single point of failure in traditional identity management systems. Central to its data protection approach is the use of Federated Learning, where sensitive data remains local to user devices, and Local Differential Privacy, which adds noise to data during analysis to further safeguard privacy. This means that no raw personal data is ever centralized, drastically reducing the risk of breaches or misuse.
