EGIDA network
EGIDA is the first and only national network of security and privacy technologies formed by technology centers of excellence. The project will address research in security and privacy technologies with a clear objective: the protection of information privacy.
The centers that form the network consortium will work on 4 technical objectives focused on applied cryptography technologies, digital identity and privacy, security in distributed systems and development of secure information systems.
The project is part of the national commitment to develop market-oriented research promoted by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Center for Industrial Technology Development (CDTI).
The ultimate goal of EGIDA is to bring security and privacy technologies closer to companies, so that technology centers and industry can strengthen the national innovation system, placing Spain at the forefront of the cybersecurity technology market.
The consortium is formed by Gradiant, Fidesol and the centers of BRTA, Basque Research and Technology Alliance, Ikerlan and Vicomtech.
