Dhiria had the privilege of visiting the European Space Agency to discuss the importance of privacy-preserving computation in the processing of Earth Observation data. Dhiria’s solutions have shown great results, both on the EuroSAT benchmark of Sentinel-2 and in the EO4SEC project, aimed at monitoring illegal activities in the Mekong region. Dhiria’s focus in this field includes identifying changes and anomalies in encrypted image sequences and privacy-preserving object detection in encrypted images. Looking ahead, Dhiria plans to enable not only inference but also fully encrypted training, where models are generated directly from encrypted data. Manuel Roveri

🌍 Dhiria at the forefront of future mobility! 🚗💡 We are proud to share that our colleague Riccardo Pazzi participated in an event organized by Openstage on the theme of urban mobility, in collaboration with the science communication association On Air - Voce alla scienza. The event brought together emerging voices in scientific outreach alongside established communicators, creating a space for discussions on crucial topics related to mobility. 🚀 During the event, in addition to talks from three members of On Air - Voce alla scienza, a "call for ideas" was held to evaluate innovative proposals for the future of mobility. In his presentation, Riccardo Pazzi addressed how privacy-preserving technologies can be used to improve mobility. Since personal mobility data contains sensitive information, it is crucial to process it securely. Riccardo explained how these technological solutions can not only ensure privacy but also contribute to making mobility safer and more efficient. We are proud of Riccardo Pazzi’s contribution to the event, bringing forward his ideas on how technology can enhance urban mobility in a secure and efficient way.

I'm thrilled to announce that I had the opportunity to present the research paper, "Training Encrypted Neural Networks on Encrypted Data with Fully Homomorphic Encryption", at the 12th Workshop on Encrypted Computing & Applied Homomorphic Cryptography (WAHC '24), part of the ACM CCS conference held in Salt Lake City, USA! 🎉 This work, developed with Alessandro Falcetta and Manuel Roveri, represents a significant step towards building end-to-end privacy-preserving deep learning as-a-service solutions. By leveraging Fully Homomorphic Encryption, we demonstrate the feasibility of training machine learning models directly on encrypted data, ensuring that sensitive information is never exposed during the process. This approach paves the way for future AI applications in sectors where privacy is paramount, such as healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure. It was an amazing experience sharing this work and exchanging ideas with the HomomorphicEncryption.org community. Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to such insightful discussions. 🚀 AI-Tech Research Lab DHIRIA S.r.l. #AI #DeepLearning #PrivacyPreservingAI #HomomorphicEncryption #FHE #WAHC24
