<p>Systems and methods for conducting secure, privacy-preserving, verifiable omic transactions are provided. An omic service may authenticate one or more individual users and store each users omic information as encrypted data, without storing decryption keys, and also ensure fidelity and correct correspondence of each user's data with the user. A dedicated private virtual appliance can be instantiated to obtain encrypted omic data, query each user for decryption keys, decrypt the user omic data, perform an omic calculation, report results and terminate itself, thereby erasing all copies of decrypted user omic data. Alternatively, the appliance can operate with user-managed genome storage. A genome-on-a-stick construct facilitates end user interaction with such omic service providers.</p> |
