Private information retrieval (PIR) considers the problem of retrieving a data item from a database or distributed storage system without disclosing any information about which data item was retrieved. Secure PIR complements this problem by…

In Private Set Intersection protocols (PSIs), a non-empty result always reveals something about the private input sets of the parties. Moreover, in various variants of PSI, not all parties necessarily receive or are interested in the…

This paper proposes Prism, a secret sharing based approach to compute private set operations (i.e., intersection and union), as well as aggregates over outsourced databases belonging to multiple owners. Prism enables data owners to pre-load…

Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMC) allows multiple parties to compute some function of their inputs without disclosing the actual inputs to one another. Secure sum computation is an easily understood example and the component of the…

We present a multi-language, cross-platform, open-source library for asymmetric private set intersection (PSI) and PSI-Cardinality (PSI-C). Our protocol combines traditional DDH-based PSI and PSI-C protocols with compression based on Bloom…

Sensitive citizen data, such as social, medical, and fiscal data, is heavily fragmented across public bodies and the private domain. Mining the combined data sets allows for new insights that otherwise remain hidden. Examples are improved…

Private Computation (PC), recently introduced by Sun and Jafar, is a generalization of Private Information Retrieval (PIR) in which a user wishes to privately compute an arbitrary function of data stored across several servers. We construct…

Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMC) allows parties with similar background to compute results upon their private data, minimizing the threat of disclosure. The exponential increase in sensitive data that needs to be passed upon networked…

We investigate the problem of multi-party private set intersection (MP-PSI). In MP-PSI, there are $M$ parties, each storing a data set $\mathcal{p}_i$ over $N_i$ replicated and non-colluding databases, and we want to calculate the…

Privacy and security have rapidly emerged as first order design constraints. Users now demand more protection over who can see their data (confidentiality) as well as how it is used (control). Here, existing cryptographic techniques for…

Consider multiple users and a fusion center. Each user possesses a sequence of bits and can communicate with the fusion center through a one-way public channel. The fusion center's task is to compute the sum of all the sequences under the…

The computation of collision probability ($\mathcal{P}_c$) is crucial for space environmentalism and sustainability by providing decision-making knowledge that can prevent collisions between anthropogenic space objects. However, the…

We study the problem of private set intersection (PSI). In this problem, there are two entities $E_i$, for $i=1, 2$, each storing a set $\mathcal{P}_i$, whose elements are picked from a finite field $\mathbb{F}_K$, on $N_i$ replicated and…

Computing the noisy sum of real-valued vectors is an important primitive in differentially private learning and statistics. In private federated learning applications, these vectors are held by client devices, leading to a distributed…

Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC) can improve the security and privacy of data owners while allowing analysts to perform high quality analytics. Secure aggregation is a secure distributed mechanism to support federated deep learning…

In data-driven applications, preserving user privacy while enabling valuable computations remains a critical challenge. Technologies like differential privacy have been pivotal in addressing these concerns. The shuffle model of DP requires…

A Private Set Operation (PSO) protocol involves at least two parties with their private input sets. The goal of the protocol is for the parties to learn the output of a set operation, i.e. set intersection, on their input sets, without…

An important function of collaborative network intrusion detection is to analyze the network logs of the collaborators for joint IP addresses. However, sharing IP addresses in plain is sensitive and may be even subject to privacy…

For population studies or for the training of complex machine learning models, it is often required to gather data from different actors. In these applications, summation is an important primitive: for computing means, counts or mini-batch…

We provide an overview of PSI ("a Private data Sharing Interface"), a system we are developing to enable researchers in the social sciences and other fields to share and explore privacy-sensitive datasets with the strong privacy protections…
