Abstract: Embodiments allow comparison of key figures (e.g., costs, lead times) between different entities in a privacy-preserving manner, utilizing secure multi-party computation (MPC) approaches implemented by a central service provider. The central service provider receives encrypted key figure data from each of multiple players in a peer group. In one embodiment the central service provider executes a secure computation protocol comprising a semi-homomorphic encryption scheme exhibiting an additive homomorphic property. The central service provider returns to each player, a statistical measure (e.g., top quartile, bottom quartile) allowing comparison with the other players' key figures while preserving privacy. Alternative embodiments may return to the players, a statistical measure calculated from a Boolean or arithmetic circuit implemented at the central server using other secure computation approaches (e.g., garbled circuits, secret sharing, or (semi or fully) homomorphic encryption.
