Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product that provides multi-phase privacy-preserving inferencing in a high throughput data environment, e.g., to facilitate fraud prediction, detection and prevention. In one embodiment, two (2) machine learning models are used, a first model that is trained in the clear on first transaction data, and a second model that is trained in the clear but on the first transaction data, and user data. The first model is used to perform inferencing in the clear on the high throughput received data. In this manner, the first model provides a first level evaluation of whether a particular transaction might be fraudulent. If a transaction is flagged in this first phase, a second more secure inference is then carried out using the second model. The inferencing performed by the second model is done on homomorphically encrypted data. Thus, only those transactions marked by the first model are passed to the second model for secure evaluation.
