Discover how CodataFederate enables organizations to collaborate and analyze data across multiple parties without ever sharing the raw data itself.

Research and analytics often require data from multiple organizations, but data sharing poses significant privacy, legal, and competitive challenges. CodataFederate solves this with federated learning and privacy-preserving analytics.


What is CodataFederate?

CodataFederate is a federated analytics platform that enables multiple organizations to collaboratively analyze data and train machine learning models without sharing their raw data.

Federated learning for distributed model training

Cross-organizational insights without data sharing

Privacy-preserving analytics protocols

Decentralized architecture for data sovereignty

How Federated Learning Works

In federated learning, the model comes to the data, not the other way around. Each organization trains the model on their local data, and only model updates are shared and aggregated.

Local model training on private data

Encrypted model update sharing

Secure aggregation of updates

Global model without accessing raw data

Collaboration Use Cases

CodataFederate enables powerful collaboration scenarios:

Cross-bank fraud detection models

Supply chain efficiency analysis

Industry-wide benchmarking

Joint market research

Cyber threat intelligence sharing

Regional economic trend analysis

Insurance risk pooling

Privacy-Preserving Analytics

CodataFederate employs multiple privacy-preserving techniques:

Differential privacy for statistical queries

Secure aggregation protocols

Homomorphic encryption for computations

Zero-knowledge proofs for verification

Secure multi-party computation

Decentralized Architecture

CodataFederate uses a decentralized architecture that ensures no single party has access to all data:

Peer-to-peer communication

Blockchain-based audit trails

Distributed consensus mechanisms

No central data repository

Data sovereignty maintained

Cross-Organizational Insights

Organizations gain valuable insights from collaborative analysis:

Larger effective dataset size

More robust statistical conclusions

Better machine learning model performance

Discovery of rare patterns and correlations

Benchmarking against peers

Compliance and Governance

CodataFederate includes comprehensive governance features:

Data usage agreements enforcement

Access control and permissions

Audit logging of all operations

Compliance reporting

Data lineage tracking

Right to be forgotten support

Technical Implementation

CodataFederate provides a complete federated learning infrastructure:

Support for TensorFlow and PyTorch

Custom aggregation algorithms

Asynchronous and synchronous training

Fault tolerance and recovery

Scalable to hundreds of participants
