The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance has formed a group called the Privacy Working Group. This group is made up of business leaders who want to figure out ways to keep data private for companies that use Ethereum and other similar networks.

The reason they are doing this is that they know that companies like those in supply chains, healthcare and banking need to be able to keep their data private and follow the rules.

The goal of the Privacy Working Group is to make it easier for companies to understand and use privacy technologies like garbled circuits, multiparty computation, trusted execution environments and zero-knowledge proofs. They want to help companies feel confident when they use these technologies.

Enterprise Necessity: Why Privacy Matters in Web3 Adoption?

Privacy has become a need of the hour as multinational corporations investigate tokenised assets, decentralised finance (DeFi), and blockchain-backed data platforms.

Standard public blockchains are insufficient to meet the objectives of businesses, which include protecting sensitive consumer data, adhering to local data protection regulations, and maintaining secrecy in competitive contexts.

By documenting existing privacy technologies and offering practical advice on how to apply them for production deployments, the EEA Privacy Working Group takes on these issues head-on.

This covers in-depth analyses of MPC for partner collaboration, but private calculations, TEEs for secure off-chain computations, and ZK proofs for private proofs of compliance.

Some of the companies that are already working with the EEA Privacy Working Group include AppBlockchain, Consensys, LineaBuild, COTInetwork, EY, Polygon, zksync, Kaleido and the Ethereum Foundation. The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance Privacy Working Group is making progress, and this is a significant milestone for the whole ecosystem.

This project is in line with more general industry trends. For example, our article "Ethereum’s GDPR move adds privacy but could reshape decentralisation" highlights Ethereum’s efforts to improve privacy in line with the GDPR.

This shows that privacy is not only a technical factor but also a regulatory requirement for the widespread adoption of blockchain technology.

We're thrilled to introduce the EEA Privacy Working Group!

This group brings together industry leaders to provide clear guidance on privacy technologies for enterprises deploying on Ethereum and L2s.

Privacy Tech in Action: Real Solutions for Sensitive Sectors

The Privacy Working Group is looking at technologies that're really useful in important areas, not just blockchain buzzwords.

The Privacy Working Group sees that banks and asset managers can use ZK proofs to check transactions or what people own without sharing the details.

It also finds that blockchain research shows privacy-preserving computing can help with health data analysis without sharing information. For example, there are learning architectures that use safe execution environments and blockchain technology.

Moreover, it notes that zero-knowledge-based provenance frameworks can keep supplier information secret while still allowing us to track things that are necessary, for following rules and staying competitive.

The Privacy Working Group is helping to get these technologies used in the world by setting standards for how they should be used in businesses, which turns ideas into actual solutions that companies can use.

India's Crypto Privacy Dynamics & Regulatory Trends

This news is really important for India because the country is still figuring out how to deal with blockchain and privacy.

In our recent blog, India's FIU Bans Privacy Coins Like Monero & Zcash we discussed how the Financial Intelligence Unit of India said that people are not allowed to trade coins like Monero and Zcash because these coins are private, and the government is worried that they can be used for things.

This shows that privacy in blockchain is a thing. Companies like the idea of keeping their data private, but the government is concerned that it can be used for activities.

There is a lot of talk about this in India now. In our blog Indian MP Raghav Chadha Pushes Crypto & Blockchain Reforms how he wants to ensure that there are rules about crypto and blockchain. They want to make sure that everyone knows what they are allowed to do.

As people in India try to find a way to balance ideas with safety, the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance's rules about privacy might be helpful. These rules could help the government and companies figure out how to use blockchain without putting people's information at risk.

Collaborative Momentum: A New Era of Enterprise Blockchain

The establishment of the EEA Privacy Working Group marks a turning point in how privacy is seen in the Web3 ecosystem. Privacy is now the nucleus of enterprise blockchain deployment strategies, supported by some influential companies.

The EEA Privacy Working Group would foster shared knowledge, uniform standards, and best practices. In doing so, it brings the promise of blockchain for sensitive, regulated industries.
