  • Patent number: 8433925
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a cryptographic system implemented in at least one digital computer with one or more processors or hardware such as FPGAs for performing secure computations, analysis, and signal processing directly on encrypted data in untrusted environments. According to a basic embodiment, the proposed cryptographic system comprises: (a) at least one secure protocol for performing matrix multiplications in the encrypted domain, and (b) at least one secure protocol for solving systems of linear equations in the encrypted domain. According to a particular embodiment, the system comprises a plurality of privacy-preserving protocols for solving systems of linear equations (SLE) directly based on homomorphic computation and secret sharing. More specifically, according to a particular embodiment, the system uses a protocol whereby systems of linear equations are solved securely by direct Gaussian elimination using a secure protocol without imposing any restrictions on the matrix coefficients.

  • Publication number: 20120213359
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include methods and apparatuses for secure iterative processing of encrypted signals based on implementing a secure iterative processing protocol that avoids cipher blowup, and applying an iterative algorithm directly on the encrypted signals to generate an encrypted processed output signal. In a particular embodiment, the protocol comprises applying homomorphic linear processing, preparing and applying a resealing module to avoid cypher blowup, and homomorphically adapting the encrypted signals. Specific embodiments implement iterative adaptive filtering algorithms in the encrypted domain including non-collaborative secure filtering and two-party filtering based on homomorphic encryption, interactive secure protocols, garbed circuits, or a combination thereof.
