Betrodda exekveringsmiljöer för uppkopplade fordon

The project was part of IMY’s innovation sandbox for data protection, and the results are now being published in a public report. The aim of the project is to examine how data can be processed securely outside a vehicle when the computing power within the vehicle is insufficient.

Canarybit offers a solution where data is processed in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), which functions as a digital safe. The environment is isolated from surrounding systems and is only booted up if predefined conditions for the environment are met. IMY believes that Trusted Execution Environments are a privacy-friendly technology that makes it possible to handle sensitive data securely, even when it is processed by a third party.

– The technology makes it possible to process data without compromising privacy. This is particularly important in situations where multiple parties need to collaborate, but where the data is sensitive and must not be disclosed,” says Cecilia Margenberg, project manager at IMY’s innovation sandbox.

About the technology

Trusted execution environments are already used in many people’s daily lives, for example when we unlock our mobile phones using fingerprint or facial recognition, or when we make payments via our mobile phones. The technology also has the potential to be used on a larger scale across many different industries to enable secure data sharing between different parties.

By participating in IMY’s innovation sandbox, Canarybit, Ericsson and Volvo were able to investigate the legal privacy aspects of processing personal data in trusted execution environments.
