Brandeis*
Abstract
*Previously Adaptable Information Access and Control (AIAC) The Brandeis program is creating the capability to dynamically, flexibly, and securely share information while ensuring that private data may be used only for its intended purpose and no other. In the civilian sphere, there is a recognized need for technologies that enable the sharing of information between commercial entities and U.S. government agencies. Similarly, the U.S. military is increasingly involved in operations that require highly selective sharing of data with a heterogeneous mix of allies, coalition partners, and other stakeholders. The Brandeis program will develop the technical means to protect the private and proprietary information of individuals and enterprises. Brandeis will break the tension between (a) maintaining privacy and (b) being able to tap into the huge value of data. Rather than having to balance between them, Brandeis aims to build a third option: enabling safe and predictable sharing of data in which privacy is preserved. The Brandeis program is timely due to recent progress on techniques such as homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation, and differential privacy. To facilitate deployment, Brandeis technologies will be designed to work with the virtualization, cloud computing, and software-defined networking technologies now widely used in both civilian and military environments.
