In a new pilot study, the researchers have now presented and tested an approach that overcomes the technical and legal challenges in the demanding context of clinical research on cancer patients while complying with strict European regulations on the protection of patient privacy and data protection.

The research project “Federated Secure Computing” handles cancer patient data analysis in the European health data space across national borders without sharing any actual data, utilizing the modern cryptographic method—secure multiparty computation.
