xD Presents at PEPR 2024 Conference

We are excited to share “A New Model for International, Privacy-Preserving Data Science,” a talk given by xD’s Curtis Mitchell at the 2024 Privacy Engineering Practice and Respect (PEPR) conference in June. In the talk Curtis describes xD’s role in a project with the United Nations PET Lab to demonstrate the feasibility of an international data join between national statistical organizations, such as the Census Bureau, that maintains the privacy of the subjects in the data. He also reviews the details of the PySyft platform used in the project and shares some of the future goals for this work.

We want to thank our partners at the UN for their help and guidance as well as 10x in GSA, for supporting xD's early-stage work in privacy enhancing tech that made this project possible.
