Summary:
This work focuses on how to perform statistical analyses in a way that preserves the privacy of the individual. To achieve this goal, we use secure multi-party computation. This cryptographic technique allows data to be analysed without seeing the individual values. Even though using secure multi-party computation is a time-consuming process, we show that it is feasible even for large-scale databases.
