Ensure Fool-Proof Security for Genetic Data
Genetic Data Privacy & Security Protection System
Tags: City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Computing Technology
This invention introduces a decentralized system for secure genetic data management, inspired by the right to control one's data and EU's GDPR regulations. It ensures privacy through encryption and allows data owners to manage access, with no central authority having data or cryptographic access. The system supports optional multi-level encryption and secure data sharing among authenticated users only. Applications include healthcare, genetic research, public health, epidemiology, big data analysis, cryptography and data protection, offering a new way to secure genetic information. This approach addresses privacy concerns and enables controlled data sharing.
