ABSTRACT
As genomic data become more widely available, the need for powerful computing resources to process large volume of data becomes more critical. As a result, researchers are now increasing the use of cloud computing. However, there is loss of direct control by the researchers upon their data as they outsource computations, leaving the owners of genomic data vulnerable to exploitation and privacy problems. In our work, we explored the use of fully homomorphic encryption through the use of SEAL to securely perform genome-wide association studies remotely.
