  • Publication number: 20220224515
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for efficiently retrieving data from an at least partially encrypted table based record using secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC). A query received to retrieve data from a table based record comprising data items arranged in rows and columns may include a queried data item (key) which potentially matches one or more encrypted data items contained in one or more of the columns. The computing nodes, each having a respective one of a plurality of shares of a one-hot representation of each of the encrypted data items engage in the MPC session to match between a one-hot representation of the queried data item and the one-hot representation of each encrypted data item and output each matching row. The match is based on multiplying, in each encrypted data item's one-hot representation, only bits identified as hot in the queried data item's one-hot representation.

  • Publication number: 20220207263
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for determining whether a user engaged in an interactive video session is a genuine user or a potential impersonator by analyzing a plurality of consecutive images depicting the user while engaged in the video session to identify one or more dynamic facial patterns in the face of the user while his lips are moving. Each such dynamic facial pattern may express a movement of one or more of a plurality of wrinkles and/or other dynamic facial features (e.g., nostrils, distance between nostrils, ear, skin portion, muscle, etc.) in the face of the user. The user may be then determined to be genuine or not based on a comparison between the identified dynamic facial pattern(s) and one or more reference dynamic facial patterns.
