Technologies for Improving Reliability of Personal Data Distribution Platforms to Realize Data-Driven Society

As expectations for data utilization are rising around the world, the Japanese Government is promoting information banks, which are businesses that facilitate the secure distribution and utilization of personal data, expressly with the individual's involvement. To ensure the reliability of these information banks, the government is encouraging the private sector to establish a certification system. In response, the private sector has launched projects to review and certify information bank businesses. In view of this worldwide trend, Fujitsu Laboratories has developed privacy risk assessment technology that makes it possible to manage data by quantifying data leakage risks, and consent management technology that is capable of aggregating and managing individual consent for distributed personal data. These technologies allow for secure distribution of personal data and contribute to the realization of a data-driven society that gives consideration to privacy. This paper provides overviews of the two developed technologies, example applications of privacy risk assessment technology, and a performance evaluation of consent management technology.
