= Description
MedCo enables privacy-preserving cohort exploration by providing ways of querying medical datasets with end-to-end encryption of queries, data at rest, in transfer and during computation, all the while guaranteeing differential privacy.
It uses Unlynx as its cryptographic engine, providing cutting-edge homomorphic distributed cryptography with a strongest-link security.
By building on top of the widespread cohort exploration system i2b2 and its networking system SHRINE, the Docker-based deployment of MedCo is made easy within existing i2b2/SHRINE systems.
