Objective
SWORDFISH is a privacy-preserving, crypto-agile framework that enables trustworthy identity, delegation, and compliant data processing across federated data spaces. It couples cloud-anchored trusted computing and remote attestation with policy-driven governance to control who/what can access data, under which conditions, and with provable compliance. Core PET building blocks, like selective disclosure, ZK proofs, secure multiparty computation, and homomorphic encryption, are exposed as modular services and enforced by verifiable, machine-readable policies. The credential lifecycle follows open profiles (OpenID/OAuth), while a decentralised trust registry provides revocation, audit trails, and issuer/verifier trust lists. To support diverse devices and SMEs, SWORDFISH delivers both an edge wallet and a cloud Wallet-as-a-Service, each protected by attested runtimes and post-quantum-fortified channels. Crypto-agility is engineered end-to-end with pluggable primitives and a migration path to PQ algorithms. Trust anchors include hardware-backed keys and Direct Anonymous Attestation to achieve unlinkability and high assurance. Agentic AI acts as a first-class relying party: agents operate under policy-carrying tokens, present verifiable attributes, and trigger PET-guardrailed computations with exportable proofs. For personal data spaces (Gaia-X/IDS aligned), SWORDFISH onboards data products via signed self-descriptions, VC-backed ABAC, provenance/lineage, and sticky usage policies that travel with the data. A governance layer bridges technical enforcement and legal requirements, delivering machine-verifiable logs suitable for GDPR and eIDAS 2.0/EUDI conformity assessment. Validation targets two operational demonstrators, financial services and agentic operations in European data spaces. The outcomes provide a rigorous, deployable foundation for EU-scale, privacy-preserving collaboration.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
