TrustED Moves Privacy Preserving Data Sharing Into Real World European Pilots

The EU-funded TrustED project is moving privacy-preserving data sharing from technical design into real-world validation. Its two pilots combine digital identity, user-controlled credentials and privacy-enhancing technologies to help organisations collaborate and analyse information without routinely exposing sensitive underlying data. For European businesses, the work offers a practical view of…

The EU-funded TrustED project is transitioning its privacy-preserving data sharing research from conceptual design into practical validation through real-world pilots. These pilots aim to demonstrate how organisations can collaborate and analyze information without routinely exposing sensitive underlying data. The project, which stands for Enabling Trustworthy European Data Spaces through Self-Sovereign Identity and Privacy Preserving Technologies, is developing a secure and interoperable identity framework that works with the European Digital Identity Wallet.

The pilots, one focusing on collaboration between volunteers and NGOs and the other on clinical data analysis across institutions, aim to test the feasibility of useful collaboration without requiring every participant to hand over their sensitive information. The pilots evaluate various aspects, including governance, clinical workflows, and trust in cross-institution collaboration.

When a company goes quiet online, search is often the first “no”

Partners rarely start with a phone call anymore. They type the company name. If almost nothing readable shows up—no plain page, no short series of posts on accounts you control—the deal often cools…

  • Companies must maintain consistent online presence for potential deals.
  • Multiple responsibilities assigned to one person often lead to neglect.
  • Creating clear, accurate content offers sustainable online visibility.

Wrapping a Monolith in Docker Isn't Containerization

TL;DR: docker build on a monolith and calling it "containerized" gets you a portable monolith, which still scales and fails as one block, and gains almost none of what containers actually offer.

  • Dockerizing a monolith doesn't provide containerization benefits
  • Benefits include portability, independent scaling, self-healing
  • Containerizing after splitting into services yields 41% server cost reduction

How to run a provably fair giveaway in 10 lines of code

Every giveaway or raffle eventually gets the same comment: "this was rigged." Usually it wasn't — but there's no way for anyone outside the organizer to check.

  • Use a public randomness beacon like QBEACON for fair selection
  • Lock entrant list before random value is determined to prevent manipulation
  • Entrant list hashed and committed, then winner selected using random value

Building Pune Pulse: a real-time 3D digital twin with an IDM/MOBIL traffic engine

I wanted to see my city — Pune, India — alive in 3D. Not a game with a fictional map, and not a navigation app tracking where I am.

  • Pune Pulse is a free Android app rendering Pune's road geometry and buildings.
  • The app uses IDM and MOBIL models for traffic simulation and rerouting.
  • Offline functionality is ensured without accessing OSM or using GPS.
