The classification and prediction accuracy of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, which often outperform human experts of the related field, have enabled them to be used in areas such as health and disease prediction, image and speech recognition, cyber-security threats and credit-card fraud detection and others. However, laws, ethics and privacy concerns prevent ML algorithms to be used in many real-case scenarios. In order to overcome this problem, we introduce a few flexible and secure building blocks which can be used to build different privacy preserving classifications schemes based on already trained ML models. Then, as a use-case scenario, we utilize and practically use those blocks to enable a privacy preserving Naïve Bayes classifier in the semi-honest model with application to breast cancer detection. Our theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed scheme in many aspects is more efficient in terms of computation and communication cost, as well as in terms of security properties than several state of the art schemes. Furthermore, our privacy preserving scheme shows no loss of accuracy compared to the plain classifier.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
