Client needs
KIC (Knowledge & Intelligent Computing Lab, University of Ioannina)Â seeks a privacy-preserving solution for ADHD risk assessment in children. Existing tools lack robust security and compliance, risking data exposure. Requirements include:
- Secure, decentralized data collection via gamified tablet applications.
- Role-based access controls for parents, clinicians, and educators.
- Integration of federated learning and differential privacy to avoid centralizing raw data.
- Compliance with GDPR, eIDAS 2.0, and IDSA standards.
- Scalable consent management inspired by ConInSe architecture.
Forkbomb process
Requirements analysis
- Collaborated with KIC to define user roles, data flows, and compliance needs.
- Identified integration points for DIDroom, Attribute-Based Credentials, and federated learning (TensorFlow Federated).
- Mapped GDPR and eIDAS 2.0 requirements to technical specifications.
Implementation and solution development
- Configured DIDroom Dashboard for issuing and verifying Verifiable Credentials tied to child status and parental consent.
- Integrated DIDroom DIDroom microservices with the Behavioral Machine Learning Backend to enforce role-based access controls.
- Implemented differential privacy techniques to anonymize aggregated data.
- assistance with deploying DIDroom microservices in a lab setup and in production
Quality assurance and project management
- Conducted weekly alignment sessions with KIC to ensure adherence to timelines.
- Tested credential issuance/verification flows using DIDroom Wallet and Verifier Apps.
- Collected and analyzed data output and logs.
Ongoing support and continuous improvement
- Refined DIDroom’s credential templates based on clinician feedback.
- Continuous follow up for support, improvements and bug fixing
Forkbomb solution
Forkbomb implemented the use case using DIDroom (https://didroom.com/):
- Credential Issuance: Parents receive Verifiable Credentials to approve their child’s participation; clinicians obtain credentials for accessing anonymized risk indicators.
- Federated Learning Integration: Data analysis occurs locally on tablets, with only encrypted model updates shared to the backend.
- GDPR Compliance: DIDroom’s W3C DID Federated Service ensures decentralized identity management, while differential privacy adds noise to datasets.
