Consumer genetic testing has become immensely popular in recent years and has lead to the creation of large scale genetic databases containing millions of dense autosomal genotype profiles. One of the most used features offered by genetic…
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing has gained in popularity over the past decade, with over 12 million consumers to date. Given its increasing stature in society, along with weak regulatory oversight, it is important to learn about…
Recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies have put ubiquitous availability of fully sequenced human genomes within reach. It is no longer hard to imagine the day when everyone will have the means to obtain and store one's own DNA…
We investigate the problems of identity and closeness testing over a discrete population from random samples. Our goal is to develop efficient testers while guaranteeing Differential Privacy to the individuals of the population. We describe…
The current COVID-19 pandemic highlights the utility of contact tracing, when combined with case isolation and social distancing, as an important tool for mitigating the spread of a disease [1]. Contact tracing provides a mechanism of…
Given several databases containing person-specific data held by different organizations, Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage (PPRL) aims to identify and link records that correspond to the same entity/individual across different databases…
Protecting individual privacy is essential across research domains, from socio-economic surveys to big-tech user data. This need is particularly acute in healthcare, where analyses often involve sensitive patient information. A typical…
Privacy is of the utmost importance in genomic matching. Therefore a number of privacy-preserving protocols have been presented using secure computation. Nevertheless, none of these protocols prevents inferences from the result. Goodrich…
Consider two parties who want to compare their strings, e.g., genomes, but do not want to reveal them to each other. We present a system for privacy-preserving matching of strings, which differs from existing systems by providing a…
Governments and researchers around the world are implementing digital contact tracing solutions to stem the spread of infectious disease, namely COVID-19. Many of these solutions threaten individual rights and privacy. Our goal is to break…
Deep learning-based linkage of records across different databases is becoming increasingly useful in data integration and mining applications to discover new insights from multiple sources of data. However, due to privacy and…
Record linkage has been extensively used in various data mining applications involving sharing data. While the amount of available data is growing, the concern of disclosing sensitive information poses the problem of utility vs privacy. In…
In this paper, we outline a way to deploy a privacy-preserving protocol for multiparty Randomized Controlled Trials on the scale of 500 million rows of data and more than a billion gates. Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) are widely used…
Private closeness testing asks to decide whether the underlying probability distributions of two sensitive datasets are identical or differ significantly in statistical distance, while guaranteeing (differential) privacy of the data. As in…
Malware checking is changing from being a local service to a cloud-assisted one where users' devices query a cloud server, which hosts a dictionary of malware signatures, to check if particular applications are potentially malware. Whilst…
Federated clustering (FC) is an essential extension of centralized clustering designed for the federated setting, wherein the challenge lies in constructing a global similarity measure without the need to share private data. Conventional…
This document describes and analyzes a system for secure and privacy-preserving proximity tracing at large scale. This system, referred to as DP3T, provides a technological foundation to help slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2 by simplifying and…
We study goodness-of-fit and independence testing of discrete distributions in a setting where samples are distributed across multiple users. The users wish to preserve the privacy of their data while enabling a central server to perform…
RAG has emerged as a key technique for enhancing response quality of LLMs without high computational cost. In traditional architectures, RAG services are provided by a single entity that hosts the dataset within a trusted local environment.…
Contact tracing is paramount to fighting the pandemic but it comes with legitimate privacy concerns. This paper proposes a system enabling both, contact tracing and data privacy. We propose the use of the Intel SGX trusted execution…
