16th of March 2015, Secure Genome Analysis Competition at the IDASH Privacy and Security Workshop 2015, San Diego,CA/USA
CYBER prepared a competition task for the secure genome analysis competition and participated to present it. It turned out that the competition was not aware of some of the technologies used in PRACTICE and we ended up being disadvantaged in the competition. In one task (secure genome comparison in the multi-party setting), we had the fastest solution, but were disqualified due to the organizers deciding that the third server used too much (2 CPU cores) resources. They were also unsure of the legal status of three-party multi-party computation. By attending, we were able to show the benefits of PRACTICE statistics work and also explain our legal analysis. The interest to the PRACTICE legal work was especially strong. The organizers promised to modify the competition rules for the next year so more of our efficient technologies could be acceptable.

In the setting of secure multiparty computation, two or more parties with private inputs wish to compute some joint function of their inputs. The security requirements of such a computation are privacy (meaning that the parties learn the output and nothing more), correctness (meaning that the output is correctly distributed), independence of inputs, and more. This setting encompasses computations as simple as coin-tossing and agreement, and as complex as electronic voting, electronic auctions, electronic cash schemes, anonymous transactions, and private information retrieval schemes. Due to its generality, secure computation is a central tool in cryptography.
