There's no practical technology that would get around that problem. Homomorphic encryption might do the trick (?), but it's too slow at the moment.

- qznc 8y agoIntel SGX is only answer at the moment. The Signal messenger uses it, do address book matching is private. It requires the user to trust the server hardware vendor (Intel) instead of also the cloud provider.

- qznc 8y agoThe trick is that every user uploads his own matcher. The server only sees encrypted matchers, feeds them data and returns the encrypted results. You as a user decrypt your results and nobody (except Intel) was able to see them.
