Project description
Turkey expands research capabilities to provide solutions for data privacy problems
With the widespread use of cloud storage and computing, the need for privacy-enhancing technologies has accelerated tremendously. Traditional encryption methods allow data to be stored in encrypted form, but even simple analytics require the cloud server to have a secret key or the data owner to download, decrypt and locally analyse the data. Homomorphic encryption allows direct computation on encrypted data without a server needing the secret key. The result remains encrypted, accessible to the owner with a secret key. The EU-funded enCRYPTON project will enhance the innovation capacity of Sabancı University in Turkey in privacy-enhancing technologies leveraging homomorphic encryption through twinning with world-leading universities in the field.
Objective
The main objective of enCRYPTON is to increase the innovation capacity of Sabanc University (S) and enhance the consortiums scientific quality and research excellence within privacy enhancing technologies. The objectives will be achieved by building scientific capacity, management capacity and technical capacity at S. To enhance scientific competences, staff exchanges, visits of international experts, workshops and summer schools are organised for researchers and early-stage researchers. To enhance management and administration at S, idea generation workshops, impact creation courses, proposal preparation workshops, project management workshops, staff exchanges and participation in tradeshows and business fairs are organised mainly for the administration unit. Moreover, S will develop a prototype server in an exploratory research project that will provide solutions for data privacy problems. S has planned dedicated activities such as joint publications in journals and participation in conferences/workshops for disseminating results, regular updates on a project website and social media for communicating outcomes and using results from the exploratory project as a basis to develop new projects and networking with data-based industries for exploiting results. enCRYPTONs activities enhance networking between S and EU partners, through knowledge transfer and exchange of best practice. enCRYPTON has a scientific strategy for stepping up and stimulating scientific excellence and innovation capacity at S and focuses on strengthening the research management and administration skills of S.
