IXUP is a cutting-edge technology platform designed to enable organizations to securely collaborate and analyze sensitive data without compromising privacy. By employing advanced encryption techniques, including homomorphic encryption, IXUP ensures that data remains encrypted throughout its entire lifecycle—during storage, transmission, and processing. This approach allows multiple parties to perform joint analytics and share insights without ever exposing or decrypting the underlying data.
Key Features and Functionality:
- Multi-Party Analytics: Facilitates secure collaborations using digital signatures and Two-Person Integrity (TPI protocols, ensuring that joint data analyses are conducted with enhanced security measures.
- Homomorphic Encryption: Enables complex mathematical computations to be performed directly on encrypted data, leveraging Microsoft's SEAL library for secure processing without the need for decryption.
- Governance & Audit Log: Provides real-time user reports on all operations performed on data, adhering to compliance standards such as the Australian Government's Five Safes Framework, thereby ensuring robust data governance.
- Fuzzy Matching: Performs privacy-preserving probabilistic record linkage and range filtering to optimize data matching processes without exposing sensitive information.
- Geo Matching: Links and aggregates address data to postcodes or statistical units, facilitating geographic-based analyses while maintaining data privacy.
- Design Canvas: Offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, simplifying the design and execution of data collaboration projects.
- Reporting Tools: Allows seamless export of analytical results to popular tools like Power BI or Tableau, enabling comprehensive data visualization and reporting.
- Data Warehouses Integration: Supports import and export of data from trusted platforms such as Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, AWS, and Google Cloud Storage, ensuring compatibility with existing data infrastructures.
- Built on Microsoft Azure: Operates entirely within the highly secure Microsoft Azure environment, providing a reliable and scalable foundation for data collaboration.
Primary Value and Problem Solved:
IXUP addresses the critical challenge of enabling secure and private data collaboration among organizations. Traditional data sharing methods often expose sensitive information to risks of breaches and misuse. By ensuring that data remains encrypted at all times—even during analysis—IXUP allows organizations to unlock valuable insights from combined data sets without compromising privacy or security. This capability is particularly vital for industries handling highly sensitive information, such as healthcare, finance, and government sectors, where data privacy and compliance are paramount.
