3. GDPR‑compliant Secure Data Architectures (Computer Communications, 2022)

This also did not appear directly in our search results. But relevant works include frameworks using combined HE and distributed ledgers that align with GDPR’s privacy-by-design principles .

Key points in such architectures:

  • Privacy by Design (Art. 25 GDPR) mandates embedding privacy early and minimizing data collection. HE supports that by enabling encrypted computation at the source. Wikipedia

  • Distributed ledger integration (e.g., blockchain, audit logs) helps with compliance with data subject rights such as erasure and transparency.

  • Some qualitative assessments (e.g., Swiss hospitals) confirm that HE + ledger tech can fulfill GDPR requirements around data discovery, processing, consent, and deletion.

Conclusion 

Emanuele Raso is a promising cybersecurity researcher specializing in healthcare data privacy, making his expertise relevant for safeguarding molecular biology data and digital infrastructures. However, for a Best Researcher Award specifically in Molecular Biology, his profile may be considered peripheral rather than central, as his primary contributions lie in cybersecurity and applied cryptography, not core molecular biological research.
