On May 1, 2018, NIST announced the Unlinkable Data Challenge to help the public
conduct research using data gathered with personal digital devices
and taken from large databases such as driver's license and
health care records. Through the contest, NIST aims to identify
ways to effectively "de-identify" personal information
while maintaining the data's analytic value. The challenge will
have three phases, and $190,000 of total prize money will be split
among the winners of the phases.
