ENISA ISSUES THE NEW REPORT ON DATA PSEUDONYMISATION

02.02.2021

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (“ENISA”) published a new report on data pseudonymisation that provides information about basic pseudonymisation techniques, asymmetric encryption, ring signatures and group pseudonyms, chaining mode, pseudonyms based on multiple identifiers, pseudonyms with proof of knowledge and secure multi-party computation. Also, in the report, application of these techniques in the area of healthcare has been discussed.

Pseudonymisation is an important data protection measure mentioned and highlighted in the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).  ENISA firstly aimed with this report to represent some basic technical methods and examples to achieve pseudonymisation in practice. Therefore it is a very valuable resource for the data controllers, data processors, services, and applications, Data Protection Authorities (DPAs), as well as any other interested party in data pseudonymisation.
