Abstract
Genomic data encryption embodiments are presented which generally maintain the privacy of genomic data via an encryption scheme which allows computations to be performed on the encrypted data without the need for decryption. The genomic data is encrypted using a homomorphic polynomial encryption scheme to produce a vector of ciphertexts, where each ciphertext represents a different sample of the genomic data and takes the form of a polynomial and its associated coefficients. Computations on the encrypted genomic data are then performed on the vector or vectors of ciphertexts without decrypting the data. The results of the computations are then provided to an end user who decrypts them.
