Overview

Tozny has developed a Data Wallet application for the purpose of supporting a Transportation Data Pilot to demonstrate secure collection of user transportation data for visitors to the Central Eastside Industrial District in Portland, Oregon.
The Pilot explores capturing trip and transportation mode data, as well as user feedback on transportation mode choices to inform policy and infrastructure decision making. Strong user privacy and security are applied to the secure collection of user transportation data  – this gives users control over access to their own personal data.
The technology developed for this Pilot can form the basis of an extensible, open platform for data and identity management in Smart City contexts with special attention to addressing security and privacy concerns.

We are a spinoff from Galois, Inc., which was founded in 1999 and performs computer security research and development. Tozny was founded to bring strong, easy to use cryptography to the general public.

Tozny is funded by the Department of Homeland Security privacy team to pilot privacy-preserving technology for Smart City use cases. Under this program we are seeking partnerships within city governments who have user-centric or data-centric challenges to provide more effective city services. Tozny’s efforts fall under the DHS Data Privacy Program and was awarded under the DHS Long-Range Broad Agency Announcement.(1)

Participating in the Pilot? Read On!

First off, thank you for participating! Pilots of this nature cannot be successful without individuals like yourself who are willing to contribute.
Each time you travel to or from the Central Eastside Industrial District you will be asked 2 or 3 simple questions regarding your transportation choices for that trip. Your answers will help qualify the transportation data collected during the pilot.
Again, thank you for your time and participation in this important pilot.


Frequently Asked Questions



What is the pilot's purpose?
The Pilot explores using privacy preserving data collection for transportation mode choices of visitors to the CEID. The Data Wallet addresses user privacy concerns while maintaining high data utility value to inform policy decision making for the benefit of residents, businesses, and visitors.
 
How is the data used?
The data is used to demonstrate the efficacy of the Data Wallet technology and to evaluate the effectiveness of the data in informing transportation and parking policy. Analysis of the data focuses on aggregate information of all participants (e.g., number of aggregate trips, transportation mode choices, etc.).
 
Is my data secure?
Yes! All of your personal data, including trip and survey information, is immediately secured with strong encryption and securely stored in the Data Wallet. Your data is only accessible by persons authorized for the pilot and then, only by your consent.
 
What trip information is saved?
The application saves trip information only for those trips that end in, or start from the Central Eastside Industrial District. Only after a valid trip is detected is the trip information (and associated survey responses) securely stored in the Data Wallet.
