Abstract
A value comparison server holds a first secret key and a plurality of tags corresponding to values, each of the plurality of tags is a ciphertext obtained by encrypting each of the values with an additive-homomorphic encryption scheme by using secret keys including the first secret key and a first parameter, a plaintext space has remainder operation with a natural number as modulo in the encryption scheme, and the value comparison server generates a value used for comparing two values corresponding to two tags included in the plurality of tags from the first secret key and the two tags by using the additive homomorphism; and determines which of the two values is greater or equal, on the basis of whether a discrete logarithm of the generated value to the first parameter can be calculated within a value of a predetermined range.
