Learn how Partisia deploys private and public networks with threshold security, flexible governance, and seamless interoperability — empowering organizations to collaborate securely at scale.

Explore the versatile architecture of Partisia

Navigating private and public networks for agile security and data collaboration.

Quickstart

The properties of the Partisia infrastructure follow from the applied distributed cryptography that is resilient to "single point (or multiple points) of failure," also known as threshold security. Therefore, the choice of computation nodes matters and needs to match the context and the governance mechanisms.

Three deployment scenarios

The right governance model depends on who runs the computation nodes and who controls the data. Partisia supports each of these patterns on the same underlying infrastructure.

Single organization

A single organization may use the Partisia infrastructure to facilitate agile security using key management. The organization controls all of the involved computation nodes, but the individual nodes remain independent of each other.

Group of organizations

A group of organizations may use the Partisia infrastructure to facilitate a new type of data collaboration where data stays encrypted at all times. Individual data providers may also prefer to run computation nodes and be a direct part in the governance.

Service provider or public network

A service provider may use the Partisia infrastructure as a neutral foundation for services where users' data are kept confidential. They can use a neutral data controller to govern the nodes, or use Partisia Blockchain — the public network — where governance is built into the infrastructure.

Ensuring interoperability across separate networks is a design choice. The global digital infrastructure consists of private enterprise-controlled networks and different types of open public networks — hence the real network effect comes from interoperability.

Private and public networks: deploying the Partisia Platform

The different deployment models result in private and public networks. Partisia Platform is a private network deployed and operated by one or more organizations. The governance is managed by the involved organizations directly or indirectly through a data controller (a concept known from the GDPR regulation). Partisia Blockchain, on the other hand, is a public — or WEB3 — network that organically grows, governed by rules built into the network.

The two types of networks are built on the same business logic and can be seamlessly integrated. Solutions using a private network for trustworthy collaboration between organizations (financial service providers, healthcare organizations, public organizations etc.) and a public network for trustworthy interaction with end users (customers, citizens, patients etc.) is a standard architecture.

Both private and public networks provide the basic properties for an ideal digital infrastructure. The private network is simpler to scale and match enterprise collaboration requirements; the public network is ideal for internet-type interaction with end users.

Developer Information

Private vs. public network at a glance

Both deployment models share the same business logic and can be combined. Pick by audience and governance, not by technology.

  • Private network

    Operated by one or more organizations, governed directly or via a GDPR-style data controller. Simpler to scale, ideal for enterprise collaboration.

  • Public network (Partisia Blockchain)

    Open Web3 network governed by rules built into the protocol. Ideal for internet-scale interaction with end users.

  • Threshold security

    Distributed cryptography is resilient to single (or multiple) points of failure across both deployment types.

  • Interoperability by design

    Private and public networks integrate seamlessly so enterprise collaboration and end-user interaction can share the same business logic.

Partisia team collaborating on infrastructure deployment

Why work with Partisia?

Partisia was founded in 2008 by global pioneers in Multi-Party Computation and advanced cryptography. While our core mission is to integrate Privacy Enhancing Technologies to improve decision-making and product development, we also pride ourselves on being one of the best in the industry.

We empower companies to operate and compute on encrypted data — a platform where data from individuals, governments, and private companies stays encrypted and protected, and still fully usable.
