Singapore, Singapore--(Newsfile Corp. - July 18, 2021) - The Dilemma Of Digital Economy
The most critical and cardinal element of the digital economy is data. Data is the "oil" of digital economy. Hence, utilizing the "data oil" safely and efficiently is the focal point of global economic digital transformation. On the one hand, the digital economy has entered a high-speed development age. The global digital economy has reached 36.2% of global GDP. It is necessary to open up the "data island" among enterprises and establish an open and shared digital resource environment. On the other hand, the public is paying more and more attention to personal privacy and data security, and regulators have introduced a series of regulations to ensure information security. For example, car companies buy parts back and assemble them into cars, the ownership belongs to the car companies, while parts manufacturers also make it clear that once the parts are sold to factories, the factories have ownership. But the data level is more sensitive. Personal data include the face, voice, name, height and other sensitive personal privacy specifics. How to define the ownership of the data between these parties? At present, there are no clear legal provisions, nor the industry has clear answers. In foreign practice, the EU has made very strict data protection regulations, but the entire EU data information technology industry lags behind China and the United States.
Because data protection is too strict, data from different sources do not interact, data is not open and can not interact to generate value and to improve the efficiency of the economy as a whole. The EU is not a good example, because it does not balance the relationship between data privacy protection and the development of the data industry.
Privacy protection and data security need multi-party promotion
Facing the dilemma of data security and sharing, the "available and invisible" secure multi-party computing provides us with an innovative solution.
Secure multi-party computing is a calculation process performed by multiple participants. Multi-party computing technology includes inadvertent transmission, secret sharing and confusing circuit. Multi-party computing has the advantage of high confidentiality and maneuverability, and each party has absolute control over the data it owns. Secure multi-party computing can be applied to networks where participants are not trusted. Participants can know the agreed results of collaborative computation, but they can't get or deduce the original contents of the data. The flow of data and the collaborative analysis are of great value in all industries, and have brought about a lot of application demands. There are two main scenarios in the market:
