  • Patent number: 12147557
    Abstract: Computer systems and associated methods are disclosed to implement the non-interactive join of privacy-preserving dataset sketches. In some embodiments, an entity can publish a one-time sketch of their dataset that would enable another entity to join their data without exposing private information. The sketch can map, using a hash function, the identities associated with a first value of the dataset to a data structure, in some embodiments. A same or different entity can join the first sketch with a privacy-preserving second sketch of a second dataset that includes added noise, and can determine an estimate of a number of identities that correspond with specific values of the first and second datasets from the joined dataset. The sketch can be published just one time, and therefore does not require separate new private computations with privacy budgeting for each additional party when a join is desired, in some embodiments.

  • Patent number: 11481253
    Abstract: Queries are monitored in a database which receives input from a stream computing application to identify data of interest. Parameters defining the data of interest, which are preferably expressed as a logical query, are sent to the stream computing application, which then processes the in-flight streamed data satisfying the parameters in some special manner. In some embodiments, the stream computing application increases the processing priority of in-flight data satisfying the parameters. In some embodiments, the stream computing application applies additional processing steps to the in-flight data satisfying the parameters to provide enhanced data or metadata.
