Secure Phenotype Inference on Homomorphically Encrypted Genotype Data and Model Paremeters
摘要
With the increase in determining the relationshiop between genotypes and phenotypes, the use of third-party companies who provide services related to genotype-to-phenotype prediction has also increased. With this, the security of genotype data and models parameters must be preserved. In our work, we addressed this problem with homomorphic encryption. We developed a secure inference system using OpenFHE, leveraging threshold homomorphic encryption that enables the encryption of genotype data by clients and the encryption of model parameters by modelers using a shared public key. Logistic regression models were used for phenotype predictions. The evaluator could securely compute predictions without accessing plaintext data, and only clients could decrypt the final results.
