METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OBFUSCATING DATA AND COMPUTATIONS DEFINED IN A SECURE DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION LEDGER

Aspects of the present invention provide systems and methods that facilitate computations that are publically defined while assuring the confidentiality of the input data provided, the generated output data, or both using homomorphic encryption on the contents of the secure distributed transaction ledger. Full homomorphic encryption schemes protect data while still enabling programs to accept it as input. In embodiments, using a homomorphic encryption data input into a secure distributed transaction ledger allows a consumer to employ highly motivated entities with excess compute capability to perform calculations on the consumer's behalf while assuring data confidentiality, correctness, and integrity as it propagates through the network.
