The collection and analysis of data are continuously growing due to the pervasiveness of
computing devices. The analysis of such information is fostering businesses and …

Genome sequencing technology has advanced at a rapid pace and it is now possible to
generate highly-detailed genotypes inexpensively. The collection and analysis of such data …

We describe a novel approach for two-party private set intersection (PSI) with semi-honest
security. Compared to existing PSI protocols, ours has a more favorable balance between …

Garbled circuits, a classical idea rooted in the work of Yao, have long been understood as a
cryptographic technique, not a cryptographic goal. Here we cull out a primitive …

We present a new protocol for two-party private set intersection (PSI) with semi-honest
security in the plain model and one-sided malicious security in the random oracle model …

In recent years, signal processing applications that deal with user-related data have aroused
privacy concerns. For instance, face recognition and personalized recommendations rely on …

This chapter provides an accessible introduction for point processes, and especially Hawkes
processes, for modeling discrete, inter-dependent events over continuous time. We start by …

Recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies have put ubiquitous availability of fully
sequenced human genomes within reach. It is no longer hard to imagine the day when …

Searchable encryption is a technique that allows a client to store documents on a server in
encrypted form. Stored documents can be retrieved selectively while revealing as little …

The rapid progress in human-genome sequencing is leading to a high availability of
genomic data. This data is notoriously very sensitive and stable in time. It is also highly …
