Galois has been awarded a $6.2 million contract to test a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency data privacy project.
The contract calls for the company’s TAMBA analytical system to measure the privacy, performance and utility of the DARPA’s Brandeis project. Brandeis aims to develop tools and techniques for building systems that ensure that their data is private.
“TAMBA’s approach involves a novel collection of analyses and metrics called the Knowledge-Based Measurement Framework (KBMF),” said a Galois news release. “The KBMF is built on semantics for tracking how private data leaks from the system over time and can be used to reason about the broad variety of privacy guarantees provided by Brandeis systems. The KBMF tools will measure the damage caused by leaks, including economic measures to capture the impact of any information release.”
The TAMBA team includes the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Maryland College Park, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Charles River Analytics.
