Siemens is developing tools that ensure smart data applications abide by data protection regulations. The reliable protection of data privacy is very important because it is a precondition for people or institutions to provide applications with personal data. In cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (Fraunhofer IAIS), the researchers at Siemens Corporate Technology (CT) are therefore creating a toolbox that helps users of smart data to adhere to the data protection regulations that apply to their applications. Although a great variety of algorithms exist for making data anonymous, many of them are not suited to the software environments that are typical of smart data. The new toolbox will contain a selection of algorithms for such environments.
