Homomorphic encryption in a healthcare network environment, system and methods

A system for homomorphic encryption in a healthcare network, comprising:

• a data custodian server executing in a cloud network;
• and
• a data consumer device remotely located from the data custodian server and communicatively coupled to the data custodian server, wherein
• the data custodian server, but not the data consumer device, has access to encrypted data stored in the cloud network;
• the data consumer device initiates a homomorphic work session with the data custodian server using cryptographic keys,
• the data consumer device sends a query in the homomorphic work session to
• the data custodian server for a portion of the encrypted data;
• the data custodian server compiles a results set corresponding to the query;
• and
• the data custodian server generates an application programming interface (API) compatible for encrypted analysis on the results set.

Non-transitory media encoding instructions for execution by a processor, which when executed by a processor, is operable to perform operations comprising:

• receiving digital data over the healthcare network at a data custodian server in a plurality of formats from various data sources;
• encrypting, by at least the data custodian server, the data according to a homomorphic encryption scheme;
• receiving a query at the data custodian server from a data consumer device concerning a portion of the encrypted data;
• initiating a secure homomorphic work session between the data custodian server and the data consumer device;
• generating a homomorphic work space associated with the homomorphic work session;
• compiling, by the data custodian server, a results set satisfying the query;
• loading the results set into the homomorphic work space;
• and
• building an application programming interface (API) compatible with the results set, the API facilitating encrypted analysis on the results set in the homomorphic work space.
