The prospects for data protection technologies were discussed at the Data Fusion forum.
Three areas of digital security will form the basis of the Russian market for data protection technologies in the coming years – trusted computing environments, confidential computing and homomorphic encryption. Moreover, technologies will develop in parallel. This was stated by Deputy Head of T1 AI (T1 IT Holding) Sergey Karpovich during the expert discussion “Development of the data market in Russia” at the Data Fusion forum.
According to the expert, the growth of information volumes creates new risks and requires fundamentally different approaches to data processing.
“Data is becoming so abundant that by 2035 we will live in a completely digital world. And the more data around us, the more vulnerabilities there are,” emphasized Sergey Karpovich.
The expert named trusted computing environments—technological “safes” in which data is stored and processed without outside access, which increases their safety—as the first direction in the development of data protection. Russia already has the first similar solutions, for example, the Eviris software package from T1 IT Holding. However, regulatory practices have not kept pace with technological changes.
“Currently, uploading data to such systems is formally considered transfer to third parties. Now the largest market players, together with the regulator, are working on a legal regime that will allow such decisions to be applied in Russia,” he said expert.
In his opinion, it is trusted environments that will become the basis for industrial AI projects that require working with real client data and high processing speed. This provides great opportunities in the fight against fraud.
“Television operators know that the user received a suspicious call, banks see an attempt to withdraw money from his account. Combining this data will allow you to instantly respond to potential fraudulent actions,” Sergei Karpovich presented one of the scenarios.
Such collaboration will be possible within the framework of the state system “GIS Antifraud”, created under the control of the Ministry of Digital Development to combat fraud..
The second trend is confidential computing, which allows organizations to exchange sets of already encrypted data and conduct joint analytical work. Such solutions are used in scoring projects when the organization does not have the entire amount of information and to achieve maximum effect it is necessary to consolidate the data of several participants without disclosing the data itself.
The third direction is homomorphic encryption, in which analytics is carried out exclusively on encrypted data, providing almost one hundred percent protection.
“This is a technology that guarantees safety. RThe calculation results are identical to those obtained from open data,” the expert noted.
Sergey Karpovich added that similar solutions are already used in different countries, including for counting votes during the election campaign.
All three areas – trusted environments, confidential computing and homomorphic encryption, according to the expert, will develop in parallel, creating capacious market niches.
“All these technologies are important, and each will find its niche – from industrial processing to analytics and personal data protection,” concluded Sergei Karpovich.
