Secure Intersection

Definition

Secure intersection refers to a method allowing two parties to find common data points without revealing their entire datasets to each other. This cryptographic technique, often implemented using private set intersection (PSI) protocols, enables parties to compute the intersection of their respective private sets while ensuring that no information about the elements outside the intersection is disclosed. It is a crucial privacy-preserving technology for collaborative data analysis, particularly in sensitive domains like financial compliance or medical research. Secure intersection facilitates data utility without compromising individual privacy.
