Privacy computing, also known as privacy-preserving computing, refers to a set of technologies and methodologies designed to protect user privacy while performing computations. This guide will help you understand the basics of privacy computing and its applications.
Key Concepts
- Homomorphic Encryption: Allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without decrypting it, thus preserving privacy.
- Differential Privacy: Adds noise to data to prevent individual data points from being discerned.
- Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC): Enables multiple parties to compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private.
Applications
Privacy computing has a wide range of applications, including:
- Healthcare: Protecting patient data while enabling collaborative research.
- Finance: Ensuring privacy in credit scoring and fraud detection.
- E-commerce: Securely processing transactions and analyzing customer data.
