Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for retrieving information from a server. Methods can include a server receiving a set of client-encrypted queries. The server identifies a set of server-encrypted decryption keys and transmits the set to the client device. The server receives a set of client-server-encrypted decryption keys that includes the set of server-encrypted decryption keys encrypted by the client device. The server also receives a set of client-encrypted/client-derived decryption keys that were derived by the client device. The server generates matching a map that specifies matches between the set of client-server-encrypted decryption keys and the set of client-encrypted/client-derived decryption keys. The server filters the set of client-encrypted queries using the map to create a set of filtered client-encrypted queries and generates a set of query results.

Multi-key information retrieval

This document relates to using secure MPC to select digital components in ways that preserve user privacy and protects the security of data of each party that is involved in the selection process. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a first computing system of a secure MPC system and from a client device, a digital component request and a nonce. The first computing system generates, based on the nonce and a function, an array including a share of a Bloom filter representing user group identifiers for user groups that include a user of the client device as a member. For each of multiple user group identifiers, the first computing system calculates, in collaboration with one or more second computing systems of the secure MPC system and using the array, a respective first secret share of one or more user group membership condition parameters.

Enhanced performance of secure multi-party computation

A method including at each of a number of client devices receiving a data item, receiving a public key from a second computing system, encrypting the data item using the public key to produce a singly encrypted data item, engaging in an oblivious pseudorandom function protocol with a first computing system using the singly encrypted data item to produce a seed, generating an encrypted secret share using a threshold secret sharing function under which the encrypted secret share cannot be decrypted until a threshold number of encrypted secret shares associated with the same singly encrypted data item are received, and transmitting the encrypted secret share to the first computing system and at the first computing system receiving a number of encrypted secret shares from the number of client devices, processing the number of encrypted secret shares to produce processed data, and transmitting the processed data to a second computing system.

Methods for protecting privacy

A method disclosed herein may include receiving, at a first computing system, encrypted identifiers and encrypted values, performing, by the first computing system, a concealing operation on the encrypted identifiers to produce concealed encrypted identifiers, wherein the concealing operation conceals the encrypted identifiers from the first computing system and a second computing system but enables matching between the concealed encrypted identifiers, decrypting, by the second computing system, the concealed encrypted identifiers to produce concealed identifiers, and performing, by the second computing system, an aggregation operation using the concealed identifiers and the encrypted values to produce an encrypted aggregate value without accessing personally identifiable information associated with the encrypted values.

Methods for aggregating credit across interactions

Systems and methods may be used for establishing a link between user identifiers of different systems without disclosing specific user identifying information. One method includes generating a matching relationship based on double encrypted one or more first data sets of a first party system and double encrypted one or more second data sets of a second party system. The matching relationship indicates one or more links between match keys associated with the first party system and the match keys associated with the third party system. The method includes assigning bridge identifiers for user identifiers associated with the first party system and the user identifiers associated with the third party system based on the matching relationship.

Systems and methods for establishing a link between identifiers without disclosing specific identifying information

Systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for preserving privacy when comparing private datasets from first and second computing systems. The second computing system identifies a first set of identifiers corresponding to records in a private database of the second computing system. The second computing system receives blinded versions of a set of identifiers corresponding to records in a private database of the first computing system. The second computing system determines an intersection or characteristic thereof of the records in the private database of the first computing system and the records in the private database of the second computing system based on matches between the blinded versions of the first and second sets of identifiers.

Security measures for determination of private set intersections

A method for linking user identifiers. The method includes receiving, by a linking server and from a company server, a first data structure comprising entries. Each entry comprising a user tag, a first hashed user information, and a second hashed user information. The method includes receiving, by a linking server and from a partner server, a second data structure comprising entries. Each entry comprising a bridge tag, a first hashed bridge information, and a second hashed bridge information. The method includes retrieving, by the linking server and from the first data structure, a first entry of the entries and retrieving, by the linking server and from the second data structure, a first entry of the entries. The method includes linking the user tag of the first entry of the first data structure to the bridge tag of the first entry of the second data structure to generate a first linkage.
