Growing energy needs are forcing governments to look for alternative resources and ways better manage the grid load balancing. As a major initiative, many countries including United Kingdom, States, China have already started deploying smart grids. One of biggest advantages grids compared traditional is ability remotely read fine-granular measurements from each meter, which enables operators balance efficiently offer adapted time-dependent tariffs. However, collecting data also poses serious...

Abstract Using real-world evidence in biomedical research, an indispensable complement to clinical trials, requires access large quantities of patient data that are typically held separately by multiple healthcare institutions. We propose FAMHE, a novel federated analytics system that, based on multiparty homomorphic encryption (MHE), enables privacy-preserving analyses distributed datasets yielding highly accurate results without revealing any intermediate data. demonstrate the...

Furthermore, the trusted party becomes a single point of failure, thus both data and model privacy could be compromised by breaches, hacking, leaks, etc.Hence, solutions originating from cryptographic community replace emulate with group computing servers.In particular, to enable privacy-preserving training NNs, several studies employ multiparty computation (MPC) techniques operate on two [83], [28], three [82], [110],[111], or four [26], [27] server models.Such approaches, however, limit...

Abstract We propose and evaluate a secure-multiparty-computation (MPC) solution in the semi-honest model with dishonest majority that is based on multiparty homomorphic encryption (MHE). To support our solution, we introduce version of Brakerski-Fan-Vercauteren cryptosystem implement it an open-source library. MHE-based MPC solutions have several advantages: Their transcript public, their o~ine phase compact, circuit-evaluation procedure noninteractive. By exploiting these properties,...

Abstract Personalised medicine can improve both public and individual health by providing targeted preventative therapeutic healthcare. However, patient data must be shared between institutions across jurisdictions for the benefits of personalised to realised. Whilst protection, privacy, research ethics laws protect confidentiality safety they also may impede multisite research, particularly jurisdictions. Accordingly, we compare concept accessibility in protection seven These include...

Genotype imputation is a fundamental step in genomic data analysis, where missing variant genotypes are predicted using the existing of nearby "tag" variants. Although researchers can outsource genotype imputation, privacy concerns may prohibit genetic sharing with an untrusted service.

Face recognition is one of the foremost applications in computer vision, which often involves sensitive signals; privacy concerns have been raised lately and tackled by several recent privacy-preserving face approaches. Those systems either take advantage information derived from database templates or require interaction rounds between client server, so they cannot address outsourced scenarios. We present a private verification system that can be executed server without interaction, working...

Data sharing has become of primary importance in many domains such as big-data analytics, economics and medical research, but remains difficult to achieve when the data are sensitive. In fact, personal information requires individuals' unconditional consent or is often simply forbidden for privacy security reasons. this paper, we propose Drynx, a decentralized system privacy-conscious statistical analysis on distributed datasets. Drynx relies set computing nodes enable computation statistics...

Sharing data across institutions for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) would enhance the discovery of genetic variation linked to health and disease1,2. However, existing data-sharing regulations limit scope such collaborations3. Although cryptographic tools secure computation promise enable collaborative analysis with formal privacy guarantees, approaches either are computationally impractical or do not implement current state-of-the-art methods4–6. We introduce federated (SF-GWAS), a...
