Information sharing represents a huge opportunity for research centers and companies to advance their knowledge in the topics they are involved by accessing to data owned by cooperative parties and sharing their data with them. Similarly, citizen information shared with service providers can increase the knowledge of the provider and improve user experience. Unfortunately, in several domains, information sharing is limited due to several privacy reasons. To encourage information sharing, there is a need for cooperative protocols that guarantee that no information apart from the protocol result is revealed. This would permit to include private information in the computation, and preserve industrial secrets and citizens' privacy, according to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).

The goal of SANPEI is to provide and test innovative solutions that can be run in a wide range of devices, including mobile phones, and IoT devices, by i) proposing innovative privacy-preserving information sharing protocols; ii) balancing accuracy, efficiency and privacy; iii) moving computation to non-trusted third parties; iv) validating protocols in specific use-cases related to Internet of Things, Cybersecurity and Healthcare. Among them, SANPEI aims at providing privacy-preserving protocols for tracking and identification of citizen potentially exposed to the coronavirus, or any other future pandemic.
