  • Publication number: 20240031145
    Abstract: Some embodiments of this specification disclose data encryption and data preprocessing. In an implementation, a method includes for online data encryption: generating, based on plaintext data, a second component of ciphertext data. From a data set and as a selected first component of ciphertext data, a first component of ciphertext data is selected. Based on the first component of ciphertext data and the second component of ciphertext data, ciphertext data of plaintext data is calculated. For offline data preprocessing, the first component of ciphertext data is generated and plaintext encryption uses the first component of ciphertext data and the second component of ciphertext data. Alternatively, a data acquisition request is received, the first component of ciphertext data is generated, and fed back, and stored for use in plaintext encryption.

  • Publication number: 20230367902
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for protecting privacy are described. In an example, a first party encrypts a first data set, and sends a single-encrypted full data set to a second party. The second party re-encrypts the single-encrypted full data set to obtain a double-encrypted full data set, obtains a single-encrypted sampling data set, and sends the single-encrypted sampling data set to the first party. The first party encrypts the single-encrypted sampling data set to obtain a double-encrypted sampling data set, determines an intersection of the double-encrypted full data set and the double-encrypted sampling data set, performs upsampling on a complement other than the intersection in the double-encrypted sampling data set to obtain a noise-added intersection, and sends an element index of the noise-added intersection to the second party. The second party determines related information of common data based on the element index.

  • Publication number: 20230327856
    Abstract: Embodiments of this specification provide computer-implemented methods, apparatuses, computer-readable media, and systems for secure multi-party computation. In an example secure multi-party computation method, a first party encrypts a first plaintext segment of target data by using a homomorphic encryption algorithm based on a public key held by the first party in a first key pair to obtain a first ciphertext segment. A second plaintext segment of the target data is owned by a second party. The first party sends the first ciphertext segment to the second party. The second party performs a homomorphic addition operation in the homomorphic encryption algorithm on the first ciphertext segment and the second plaintext segment of the target data to obtain ciphertext data of the target data. The ciphertext data is decrypted based on a private key in the first key pair.

  • Publication number: 20230327851
    Abstract: Embodiments of this specification provide computer-implemented methods, apparatuses, computer-readable media and systems for secure multi-party computation. According to an example computer-implemented method, a first party performs a first mapping operation and homomorphic encryption on first plaintext data to obtain a first converted ciphertext in a Montgomery state, where the first mapping operation converts data from an integer ring to the Montgomery state. The first party sends the first converted ciphertext to a second party. Then, the second party performs a first homomorphic operation in the Montgomery state based on the first converted ciphertext to obtain a first result ciphertext in the Montgomery state, where the first homomorphic operation includes a modular multiplication operation.

  • Publication number: 20160325070
    Abstract: A double-lumen breathing circuit assembly with separate breathing circuit conduit lengths can be joined together by differently arranged connectors or adapters. The connectors may each have different shapes and associated accessories that serve different functions. The breathing circuit conduit lengths may have an inner septum that extends both diametrically and axially for segregating inspiratory and expiratory lumens. Each septum may terminate at opposite distal ends of the conduit lengths and form a pair of semi-circular lumen openings. One of the bi-lumen breathing circuits may be connected to a patient-side connector, and the other bi-lumen breathing circuit may be connected to, or integrally moulded with, a gas collection plug of an anaesthetic gas machine. The latter bi-lumen breathing circuit may also be further connected to, or integrally moulded with, a carbon dioxide sampling connector, a temperature probe, and/or a pressure sensor probe.
