MIT, Harvard researchers push new way for users to control access to personal data

Sieve is designed to help users keep track of encrypted personal data and better manage it in the cloud. The idea for Sieve first came more than a year ago to Frank Wang, a Ph.D candidate in computer science at MIT. Sieve could have implications for government searches of data, such as in the Apple-FBI case, or for companies using personal data from fitness bands and other devices for marketing and other purposes. If the FBI brought a search warrant to Facebook or Amazon for a person’s data, the companies would be able to say they don’t have any of the user’s important data.”]
