Simpler protocols for privacy-preserving disease susceptibility testing

This short paper presents a preliminary description of two new protocols \nfor privacy-preserving disease susceptibility testing, following \nthe model proposed by Ayday et al. in [5]. We show that an \nalternative encoding of the patient’s SNPs can simplify private computations, \nand make patient-side computation on a trusted smartcard \ndevice extremely efficient. To support larger tests, we propose a second \nprotocol variant based on secret sharing that is also simpler than \nthe original proposal, and relies on more efficient primitives.
