چکیده

A digital multi-coupon is similar to a paper-based booklet containing k coupons that can be purchased from one vendor and later redeemed at a vendor in exchange for services. Current schemes, offering privacy-protection and strong security properties such as unsplittability of multi-coupons, address business scenarios with a single vendor and multiple customers, and require customers to redeem coupons in some fixed order. In this paper, we propose a multi-coupon scheme for federated environments that preserves the security and privacy properties of existing schemes, as well as their asymptotic communication and computation complexity. We define a generic formal security model and show that our scheme meets the formal requirements of this framework. Moreover, in contrast to previous solutions, we allow customers to redeem their coupons in an arbitrary order.

Privacy-Preserving Statistical Data Analysis on Federated Databases

The quality of empirical statistical studies is tightly related to the quality and amount of source data available. However, it is often hard to collect data from several sources due to privacy requirements or a lack of trust. In this paper, we propose a novel way to combine secure multi-party computation technology with federated database systems to preserve privacy in statistical studies that...

A Privacy-Protecting Coupon System

A coupon represents the right to claim some service which is typically offered by vendors. In practice, issuing bundled multi-coupons is more efficient than issuing single coupons separately. The diversity of interests of the parties involved in a coupon system demands additional security properties beyond the common requirements (e.g., unforgeability). Customers wish to preserve their privacy ...

Privacy-preserving GWAS analysis on federated genomic datasets

BACKGROUND The biomedical community benefits from the increasing availability of genomic data to support meaningful scientific research, e.g., Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). However, high quality GWAS usually requires a large amount of samples, which can grow beyond the capability of a single institution. Federated genomic data analysis holds the promise of enabling cross-institution c...
