What is an example of a real use case for such where the data owner would rather do orders of magnitude more compute to generate the results in the fancy new ZKP format, compared to hosting a simple API that processes the exact same queries and returns the exact same amount of information as the adversary would get in the ZKP strategy, but using classical means?
- avianlyric 2y agoYour again making the assumption that the data owner know what queries people want to execute, and is also happy to pay for all the compute involved in running those queries. There is no “simple API” that’s gonna let you remotely run machine learning training on someone else’s hardware, or let you perform any other kind of large dataset analysis. Converting data into a ZKP format is a one time cost, that can be shared by many different data processors.
- dumbo-octopus 2y agoClearly, the owner is in a great position to charge for access. This is bread & butter software-as-a-service. Can you give an example/paper/blog of how you envision this one time data conversion and infinite privacy preserving queryability to work?
- avianlyric 2y agoAgain you’re making the assumption the data owner wants to get into that game. I seriously doubt the NHS in the UK have any interest in becoming a SaaS provider.
