The research project Federated Secure Computing, funded by the Stifterverband, handles cancer patient data analysis in the European health data space across national borders without sharing any actual data, utilizing the modern cryptographic method - secure multiparty computation.
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet MuenchenOct 24 2024 The European research team includes scientists from LMU Munich, Germany, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, Italy, and cryptography experts from Cybernetica, Estonia.
Hendrik Ballhausen, the initiator of Federated Secure Computing at LMU explains how several partner institutions form a secure computer network: "Neither party has access to the others' data. End-to-end encrypted calculations take place on secret shares across the network. The protocol is mathematically proven to ever only reveal the result of the joint calculation, but never the data of the individual patients.
Through this research, we understand risk factors more precisely and may develop targeted therapies with fewer side effects. This increases the survival rate and quality of life of patients.""Our institutions provide cutting edge radiotherapy guided by magnetic resonance imaging," adds Luca Boldrini, physician at the Advanced Radiation Therapy Centre "Gemelli ART". "We are just beginning to see data from this modality.
