Abstract
The techniques and/or systems described herein are directed to improvements in genomic prediction using homomorphic encryption. For example, a genomic model can be generated by a prediction service provider to predict a risk of a disease or a presence of genetic traits. Genomic data corresponding to a genetic profile of an individual can be batch encoded into a plurality of polynomials, homomorphically encrypted, and provided to a service provider for evaluation. The genomic model can be batch encoded as well, and the genetic prediction may be determined by evaluating a dot product of the genomic model data the genomic data. A genomic prediction result value can be provided to a computing device associated with a user for subsequent decrypting and decoding. Homomorphic encoding and encryption can be used such that the genomic data may be applied to the prediction model and a result can be obtained without revealing any information about the model, the genomic data, or any genomic prediction.
