Researchers from TCD Computer Science and Statistics and the ADAPT Centre, have developed a new cloud collaboration platform (InvizCrypt) that offers true privacy, giving users much stronger control over who can access their sensitive data and documents. The InvizCrypt platform, developed by Professor Hitesh Tewari and colleagues, is designed to allow users to collaborate on sensitive documents while preventing the platform provider from reading the content. The project comes amid growing European concern about data privacy, security, digital sovereignty and foreign legal access to sensitive information held by large technology providers. Prof. Tewari said: “Users place huge trust in cloud platforms to store and process their data, but many people do not realise that, in conventional systems, the provider can technically still access document content. That creates risks around privacy, security and legal disclosure, regardless of where data is hosted." "InvizCrypt is designed to offer a fully private model that can not only support real-time collaboration but also ensure the security of the data within the documents.” To read more about this impactful #TrinityResearch, see: https://lnkd.in/dkcJW6hp
