  • Publication number: 20180295139
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for filtering network traffic using protected filtering mechanisms. An indication that traffic is to be filtered can be received, and a hash key, a signature representation, and an obfuscated signature can be identified or generated. The hash key and the signature representation can be provided to a first device without exposing the contents of the signature to the second device, and the obfuscated signature can be provided to a second device without exposing the contents of the signature to the second device. The first device and the second device can execute independent operations to collectively determine if the traffic is to be filtered.

  • Publication number: 20180076951
    Abstract: An encryption system stores encrypted values for aggregation is provided. The encryption system accesses an input set with input values. For each distinct value in the input set of input values, the encryption system generates an output set with an encrypted output value corresponding to each input value. The encryption system sets the encrypted output value for a corresponding input value to an encryption of an indicator of a match when the corresponding input value is the same as that distinct value. Otherwise, the encryption sets the encrypted output value for the corresponding input value to an encryption of an indicator of no match. The encrypted output values can then be aggregated to generate an encrypted aggregation based on input values that match, and the encrypted aggregation can be decrypted to generated a decrypted aggregation based on the input values that match.

  • Publication number: 20170272235
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an encryption system secures data using a homomorphic encryption. The encryption system encrypts a number by encrypting a number identifier of the number and combining the number and the encrypted number identifier using a mathematical operation to generate an encrypted number. The encrypted numbers may be stored at a server system along with their number identifiers. The server system can then generate an aggregation (e.g., sum) of the encrypted numbers and provide the aggregation, the encrypted numbers, and the number identifiers. The encryption system can then separate the aggregation of the numbers from the aggregation of the encrypted numbers using an inverse of the mathematical operation used in the encryption to effect removal of an aggregation of the encrypted number identifiers of the numbers from the aggregation of the encrypted numbers. The separated aggregation of the numbers is an aggregation of the plurality of the numbers.

  • Patent number: 9077525
    Abstract: An obfuscated policy data encryption system and method for re-encrypting data to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of data about a user when the data is stored in a public cloud computing environment. The system and method allow a user to specify in a data-sharing policy who can obtain the data and how much of the data is available to them. This policy is obfuscated such that it is unintelligible to the cloud operator and others processing and storing the data. In some embodiments, a patient species with whom his health care data should be shared with and the encrypted health care data is stored in the cloud in an electronic medical records system. The obfuscated policy allows the electronic medial records system to dispense the health care data of the patient to those requesting the data without disclosing the details of the policy itself.
