The TSD service makes available software packages that the research groups can use, within the TSD service. TSD, as an organization, has no role, as a commercial provider would have. We will, however, help researchers as best as we can in their day-to-day work. TSD support has limited time for each case. If needed, we can offer paid support.

In cooperation with? EOSC-hub?and?OpenAIRE?TSD supports data anonymization with?Amnesia.
?
Amnesia is a flexible tool for anonymization that?transforms?relational and transactional databases for statistical analysis and removes all identifying information from sensitive data. Amnesia removes all directly identifiable data?like names, SSNs and such, and changes secondary identifiers like birth rates and postal numbers so no one?can?be identified from the data. ?Amnesia supports?k-anonymity?and?km-anonymity.
TSD offers?Amnesia on the?Windows host. To get Amnesia in your?TSD project,?contact?tsd-drift@usit.uio.no
