  • Patent number: 11451527
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a system for improving a classifier by computing a statistic for the utility of sharing data with a second party. The system may encrypt a set of class labels based on a public key/private key pair to obtain a set of encrypted class labels. The system may send a public key and the set of encrypted class labels to a second computing device. The system may receive an encrypted value computed by the second computing device based on the public key. The system may decrypt the encrypted value based on a private key to obtain a decrypted value. The system may then send a pair of encrypted values computed based on the decrypted value to the second computing device. The system may subsequently receive an encrypted utility statistic from the second computing device, and decrypt the encrypted utility statistic to obtain a decrypted utility statistic.

  • Patent number: 10356056
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a system that facilitates privacy-preserving order statistics. The system receives, by a first device from a second device, a second value associated with the second device perturbed by a random value. The system determines a first difference between a first value associated with the first device, and the second value. The system encrypts a second difference between the first difference and the random value. Subsequent to transmitting the encrypted second difference, the system receives a sign of a first integer and a ciphertext. The system decrypts the ciphertext to obtain a third value which indicates the first difference scaled based on the first integer, wherein the scaled first difference is perturbed by a second integer. The system determines, based on the sign of the first integer and a sign of the third value, whether the first value is greater than or less than the second value.
