Research Projects

Data and AI Privacy

Many privacy regulations, including GDPR, mandate that organizations abide by certain privacy principles when processing personal information. This is also relevant for AI models trained using personal data. We are researching and developing several novel techniques and tools to enable AI-based solutions to adhere to such privacy requirements, including data minimization, anonymization and the right to be forgotten.

FHE

IBM Research created Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), which keeps sensitive data encrypted at all times, securing the cloud for highly regulated industries. We’ve built HElayers for you to start building commercial applications with FHE across Windows, Linux, macOS and Linux on IBM Z mainframe.

Description Tutorial

Blockchain Platforms

We are creating high-performance messaging solutions, including replication middleware for distributed ledger technologies, consensus algorithms, interactive protocols, and a complex blockchain-based management system. The team has vast expertise in distributed computing with a focus on distributed ledger technology such as Hyperledger Fabric, blockchain databases such as Hyperledger Orion, high availability, clustering, and communication.

The Hyperledger Orion Blockchain Database

Central Bank Digital Currency

We support central bank digital currencies (CBDC) in a hybrid cloud environment, using distributed ledgers, based on IBM's Hyperledger Fabric, and IBM Research's Weaver interoperability tool. By developing fungible and non-fungible token (NFT) infrastructures, we help support the digital representation of assets and rights to accelerate the exchange and interactions in business ecosystems.
