Due to advances in DNA sequencing technologies, its medical value continues to grow. However, once genome data leaked, it cannot be revoked, and disclosure of personal genome information impacts a large group of individuals. Therefore, secure techniques for managing genomic big data should be developed. We first propose a privacy-preserving inner product protocol for large data sets using the homomorphic encryption of Gentry et al., and then we introduce an efficient privacy-preserving DNA matching protocol based on the proposed protocol. Our efficient protocol satisfies the requirements of correctness, confidentiality, and privacy.
