Abstract
Disclosed herein are computer-implemented method, system, and computer-program product (computer-readable storage medium) embodiments for benchmarking with statistics in a way that reduces leakage, preserving privacy of participants and secrecy of participant data. An embodiment includes receiving a plurality of encrypted values and computing a composite statistic corresponding to at least a subset of the plurality of encrypted values. An embodiment may further include outputting the at least one composite statistic. The composite statistic may be calculated to be distinct from any encrypted value of the plurality of encrypted values, thereby preserving privacy. Further embodiments may also include generating a comparison between the composite statistic and a given encrypted value of the plurality of encrypted values, as well as outputting a result of the comparison. In some embodiments, encrypted values may be encrypted using at least one encryption key, for example, according to a homomorphic or semi-homomorphic encryption scheme.
