Quantum Enabled Private Recognition of Composite Signals in Genome
QuGenome is a research project focus on secure multiparty computation service supported by quantum
technologies to provide a secure and fast multiparty private analyses of genome databases to construct Phylogenetic
Trees. The consortium of this project is composed by
Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT),
CBRA Genomics, S.A. and
Huawei Technologies Duesseldorf GmbH. This project
will focus on the implementation of a private recognition of composite signals in
genome use case over the Madrid OpenQKD network. The proposed secure multiparty computation service
will perform genome database analysis with unprecedented levels of security and represents
a truly innovative approach in the field of healthcare research. This will pave the way for a
massive genome sequencing and signal identification in DNA with high-security levels.
We also expect a strong impact on leveraging responsible and dynamic multidisciplinary
collaboration between different disciplines and research areas potentially interested in
quantum technologies.
Objectives
Implementation a Quantum Oblivious Key Distribution (QOKD) protocol between nodes of the Madrid OpenQKD testbed.
Design and test of a garbled circuit for private recognition of composite signals in genome
which uses OTs from the QOKD protocol.
Integration of the genome database into the OpenQKD testbed.
Test and validation of the private recognition of composite signals SMC service.
The workshop presented results from QuantumMining and QuGenenome projects:
