“Whereas in, in the old days, it would take, for example, you know, when the homework for crypto was first discovered, it basically took a half hour to run a bitwise AND on encrypted data.”
Duality runs sub-second genome-wide association studies on encrypted NIH data
“We're actually at a point now where we're actually encrypting genomic data for NIH and running full-on genome-wide association studies on encrypted genomic data with, ah, sub-second response times.”
Carlson-Wee: Homomorphic encryption enables machine learning on private, encrypted user data
“One interesting intersection is homomorphic encryption, which allows you to train a machine learning system based on data that you actually don't know the plain text, so you only see the encrypted version. It allows people to say, okay, I'm going to share the …”
