Abstract

Techniques are provided for computing with private healthcare data. The techniques include a method comprising constructing an isolated memory partition that forms a secure enclave and pre-provisioning software within the secure enclave. The pre-provisioned software is configured to receive at least one of input data or the instructions for the one or more application computing processes in an encrypted form; decrypt the at least one of input data or instructions using one or more cryptographic keys; execute the one or more application computing processes based on the decrypted at least one of input data or instructions to generate output data; generate a proof of execution that indicates that the one or more application computing processes operated on the received input data; encrypt the output data using the one or more cryptographic keys; and provide external access to the encrypted output data and the proof of execution.
