The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has published a draft qualification opinion indicating that this approach can be used.
Technique protects privacy when making online recommendations – MIT AI
MIT researchers have developed a privacy-preserving protocol that is so efficient it can run on a smartphone over a very slow network. Their protocol minimizes the unauthorized transfer of information from the database, known as leakage, even if a malicious agent tries to trick a database into revealing secret information. The new protocol could be especially useful in situations where data leaks could violate user privacy laws.
