Enhancing Research Access: OnSite@Home Experience in the Netherlands

This report details the OnSite@Home pilot project conducted in the Netherlands, focusing on remote access to detailed microdata while ensuring confidentiality. The facility operates under controlled conditions, allowing authorized researchers to access sensitive data safely 24/7. Key highlights include functional and technical specifications, the use of biometric identification, and positive feedback from initial users at the University of Tilburg. Challenges, such as limited direct interaction with colleagues and output checks, are acknowledged. Overall, OnSite@Home demonstrates significant potential as a secure alternative to traditional on-site data access.

Presentation Transcript

  1. OnSite@HomeRemote Access at Statistics Netherlands Anco Hundepool and Peter-Paul de Wolf

  2. Contents • Introduction • OnSite@Home facility • Functional • Technical • First experiences of pilot • Conclusions and remarks

  3. Advantages detailed microdata ability to play around with the data, without confidentiality checks until final output Disadvantages only at premises SN no direct contact with colleagues only working hours Introduction • Detailed microdata: only on-site (i.e., at SN) • controlled safe settings • special offices needed

  4. OnSite@Home facility • Goals: • Comparable with on-site concerning confidentiality • Reducing disadvantages • 24/7 availability

  5. Functional aspects • Only authorised users allowed • Only selected research institutes • Only under contract • Traditional on-site: • users can not enter nor leave SN unaccompanied • OnSite@Home: • Biometric identification • PKI Certificates • Username + Password

  6. Functional aspects • (Micro) data stay at SN • Traditional on-site: • Network separate from production • No internet • No local printers • No floppy, USB, … • OnSite@Home: • Network separate from production • Citrix connection

  7. Functional aspects • Checking output • Traditional on-site: • Desired output checked by SN staff • OnSite@Home: • Desired output checked by SN staff

  8. Technical aspects

  9. Technical aspects

  10. First experiences of pilot • Pilot: • University of Tilburg • 2 workstations (Windows PC’s) • 6 users • Experiences: • Positive, no real problems • Performance like own desktop PC

  11. Conclusions and remarks • Promising counterpart of traditional on-site • Confidentiality issues ‘under control’ • Check of output labour intensive but needed • Can be used to provide access to MUC’s as well?
