ANYMOS
Competence Cluster Anonymization for Interconnected Mobility Systems
Start: 11/2022
End: 12/2025

How can data protection and data-driven innovation be reconciled in the public transport and automotive sectors? ANYMOS is establishing anonymisation as an enabling technology to address uncertainties surrounding data exchange and secure Germany’s leading position in public transport and autonomous driving.
The long-term goal of ANYMOS is to establish anonymization as an enabling technology to reduce uncertainties surrounding the need to apply data protection regulations when sharing and using data – while preserving Germany’s strong position in data-driven innovations for the automotive and public transport sectors.
As an instrument to reduce uncertainties, ANYMOS will develop and establish a procedure model that helps organizations identify their anonymization needs and opportunities for mobility applications, select suitable anonymization methods reflecting the latest in research and technology, apply them correctly, and to systematically identify and address re-identification risks. All research will be application-oriented by developing and demonstrating use cases for anonymization in the topic areas of autonomous driving and public transport.
Role of the FZI
The FZI coordinates the ANYMOS competence cluster and is responsible for technology transfer to industry. Together with its partners, the FZI develops and demonstrates use cases. With regard to anonymity definitions and data value chains, the FZI is especially responsible for reconciling legal requirements with the technical performance of methods and value chain the requirements. In addition, the FZI conducts research on formal definitions of data utility, develops methods for identifying data relevant to data protection in complex multi-sensor systems, and towards determining risk through de-anonymization. Furthermore, the FZI coordinates the derivation of the process model.
