PROTECTING STUDY PARTICIPANT DATA FOR AGGREGATE ANALYSIS

摘要

Embodiments of the invention include systems and methods for protecting study participant data for aggregate analysis. Aspects include sending a broker encryption key to a plurality of subjects. Aspects also include receiving double-encrypted subject data from the plurality of subjects. Aspects also include decrypting the double-encrypted subject data with a broker decryption key to generate single-encrypted subject data for the plurality of subjects. Aspects also include aggregating the single-encrypted subject data for the plurality of subjects to generate an aggregated single-homomorphically encrypted data set. Aspects also include including a plurality of random factors in the aggregated single-encrypted data set. Aspects also include sending the aggregated single-homomorphically encrypted data set to a researcher.
