Discover UC3 Energy Domain Tool: optimising solar battery management in EOSC-SIESTA
EOSC-SIESTA addresses the challenge of analyzing sensitive data without compromising privacy through its energy domain use case (UC3). Focusing on solar installations, the project utilizes trusted execution environments and anonymization techniques to secure sensitive household consumption dat
Science Europe’s 40 members rally behind EOSC Partnership in FP10
Science Europe, representing 40 major research organizations, has issued a position statement urging a robust framework under the EU’s next FP10 programme to secure the future of EOSC.
Discover pyCANON: assessing dataset anonymity in EOSC-SIESTA
pyCANON is an open-source Python library and web application developed within EOSC-SIESTA to assess the anonymity and privacy risks of tabular datasets. Integrated into the project’s dashboard, it evaluates data against key anonymity models like k-anonymity and l-diversity, enabling researchers to make informed decisions before sharing sensitive information.
Siesta Concepts #2: Anonymization
Data anonymization transforms sensitive datasets to prevent individual identification while keeping data useful. Within EOSC-SIESTA, two open-source tools help researchers sanitize quasi-identifiers and assess privacy risks by applying advanced anonymity models (like k-anonymity and l-diversity) to protect sensitive tabular data.
SIESTA CONCEPTS#1: Federated Learning
Federated Learning (FL) allows multiple participants to collaboratively train AI models by keeping data local and sharing only encrypted model updates. Through the SIESTA dashboard, users can easily deploy secure FL clients, which connect to a central coordinating server hosted on AI4EOSC via the Flower framework and secure gRPC protocols, enabling privacy-preserving collaboration.
SIESTA Video Series: Text Anonymization on Sensitive Data
The SIESTA Video Series brings together a set of short videos in which several of the project’s use cases present their work and main objectives. In particular, the use cases on Medical Imaging, Energy Domain, Text Anonymization on sensitive data, and Demography have contributed to this series, each explaining their respective activities within the project.…
