APPARATUS AND METHOD WITH HOMOMORPHIC ENCRYPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17888836 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD WITH HOMOMORPHIC ENCRYPTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus that performs data packing on an encrypted image and then performs a homomorphic encryption operation based on the packed data and a weight.
- The apparatus includes one or more processors that generate packed data by performing data packing on an encrypted image.
- The apparatus also performs a homomorphic encryption operation using the packed data and a weight.
- The homomorphic encryption operation allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without decrypting it, maintaining privacy.
- The packed data and weight are used to perform mathematical operations on the encrypted image, enabling secure processing of the data.
- The apparatus can be implemented in various computing systems, such as servers or mobile devices.
Potential Applications
- Secure image processing in cloud computing environments.
- Privacy-preserving machine learning algorithms.
- Secure data analysis and computation in sensitive domains like healthcare or finance.
Problems Solved
- Maintains privacy by performing computations on encrypted data.
- Enables secure processing of sensitive information without the need for decryption.
- Protects against unauthorized access to the original image or data.
Benefits
- Enhanced privacy and security of sensitive data.
- Enables secure outsourcing of data processing tasks.
- Facilitates secure collaboration and sharing of encrypted data.
