It has been active in this field for more than 30 years and currently employs more than 60 researchers.
TU Graz brings to the KRAKEN project experience & expertise in identity solutions (WP2), self-sovereign identity & eID/eIDAS (WP3), and cryptography & privacy (WP4); and is also involved in the education pilot (WP5).
XLAB (XLAB)
- Slovenia
XLAB is an R&D company with a strong research background in the fields of cloud computing, security, dependability, information visualization (medical, 2D, 3D GIS, sensors) and image processing (3D reconstruction, segmentation, GIS data fusion). The results of the R&D activities are reflected in the advanced online collaboration software ISL Online, GIS and visualization solution - Gaea+, in our civil protection solutions and in the sophisticated medical imaging solutions - MedicView.
Within KRAKEN project, XLAB will implement privacy-preserving data analytics algorithms by using functional encryption and secure multi-party computation cryptographic schemes. Mechanisms for secure clustering, aggregation, and statistical evaluations (e.g., mean, variance, quantiles) of sensitive data will be enabled without revealing data in the clear.
