Private Data Aggregation

Definition

Private data aggregation refers to the process of combining data from multiple sources to produce a summary or statistic while preserving the privacy of individual data points. This technique employs cryptographic methods, such as homomorphic encryption or zero-knowledge proofs, to ensure that sensitive personal information remains confidential during the aggregation process. It allows for collective insights without exposing underlying raw data. This is crucial for privacy-preserving analytics.
