The Third Way to Data Privacy and Sharing
– Concepts, Tools, Applications

This is the title of a new book which builds from the premise that there is a safe way to integrate computer systems while at the same time balancing civil privacy with the public government’s needs and balancing, moreover, security restrictions with the sharing imperative. The Pygar Project builds open source software that provides the way forward. This book belongs to that open source project. The book explains the pressing need for the integration of security and privacy concerns and furthermore explains the way forward from the viewpoints of end user, system architect and software developer.

About the Project

Blind Encrypted Data Matching or BEDM should improve both privacy and security features immediately and over time expand cooperation in society, government, and commerce.

This project is also known as the Pygar Project after its mascot "Pygar" - a mythical blind angel who worked good deeds without the benefit of sight. OpenBEDM and the Third-Way are expected to do likewise.
