University press release (25.10.24):

The study by the Technical University of Darmstadt and the University of Kassel highlights data protection issues related to data matching between authorities, using the example of the Self-Determination Act. The researchers show that private set intersection can serve as a data protection-compliant solution. This way, the interests of both citizens and security authorities can be protected.

The research work was presented at the “Recht und Technik: Datenschutz im Diskurs” workshop at the Informatik-Festival 2024 in Wiesbaden on September 26, 2024. The study was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) as part of the Research Training Group Privacy & Trust and the Collaborative Research Center CROSSING and received support from the European Research Council through the ERC Starting Grant for the project Privacy-Preserving Services Over the Internet (PSOTI).
