Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for comparing private sets of data. The method includes encoding first elements of a first data set such that each element of the first data set is assigned a respective number in a first table, encoding second elements of a second data set such that each element of the second data set is assigned a respective number in a second table, applying a private compare function to compute an equality of each row of the first table and the second table to yield an analysis and, based on the analysis, generating a unique index of similar elements between the first data set and the second data set.
